Smithers to Prince
George, BC – Wow! Back South into Warmer Climes
August 29, 2013
We enjoyed an easy day for the drive southbound. Gee! Prince
George is almost a real city. We must be really far south now. Well, not really
that far south as Prince George is still much farther north (300 miles+) than
Montreal and about the same latitude as Labrador.
We had our farewell dinner at the Carmel Inn in Prince
George. It is very hard to say farewell to our many new friends. This group has
bonded since day 1 and we had great Wagonmasters and Tailgunners. Despite some
really serious mechanical issues, Stu and all his assistants kept everyone
going. We are already planning a Reunion for the Georgia Samboree in March.
Prince George, BC –
Farewell and a Mechanical Checkup
August 30, 2013
All but 3 of us left for points south today. Our Wagonmaster
prepared a great breakfast for us. It’s just us, Rich and Gloria, and Ann and
Charlotte. We went out for our own farewell dinner for Chinese buffet tonight. Both
rigs leaving in the morning. We leave on Monday for Valemont, BC on the west
side of the Canadian Rockies.
I took the rig in for a brake check today as the front
brakes have been making noise for the last 2-3 days. Everything is in great shape with
the brakes and front bearings. That is a big relief for me. We are not sure
what is making the noise, but the important stuff is fine. We are a member of
the cracked windshield club. Apparently on the drive south from Dease Lake I
got nailed. It is just a small chip and crack.
