Aug 4/10

Cache Creek to Prince George—countryside we have never before seen. And it’s covered with a gray pall except for the eerie red light from yesterday afternoon. The air smells acrid and grabs at the throat. As we get a little north of Quesnel ground smoke is visible just over the hills—close enough to the fire!!



We stay just outside the city in a pretty RV park called Southpark. The proprietor has gone to a lot of trouble with flowers—every site has a huge tub of red and white petunias—a pleasant sight after the barren hills of the drive. The beauty here is that of ranch country.
