A soggy day (Prince George to Pink Mountain...I mean Fort Nelson)




Day 2
Mileage: 505
Wildlife: nothing (I think it was too wet)
We got up early again this morning to get a jump on driving. Luckily our car was still there with all my belongings. Another Yank from Wyoming who was making the move to Alaska had his car broken into and his passport stolen. They also made away with his gas! No one touched Big Boy (our newly named wheels).

It was raining so hard today that we decided camping was not the best of ideas, and after driving through the Pink Mountain camping grounds, which were basically RV hook-ups in someone’s field, we decided to keep climbing north. Although we did get a little scare when our ‘Check Engine’ light kept going on and off. But we made it to Fort Nelson, which had the world’s nicest Super 8 (complete with water slide and waffle breakfast) but we decided to live modestly and stayed in an inn down the road.
