Sunday, June 23, 2013 (Travel to Lynx Creek RV Park, Hudson's Hope, BC)

It was very active around the RV park this morning as two caravans to Alaska prepared to leave.  We had our usual start to the day and then got started on our pack-up.  It was about 9:30 when we pulled out of Northern Lights RV Park...bye Annette and Mike...thanks again for your wonderful hospitality!

Today we are backtracking east for 100 kms to Chetwynd and then heading north on highway 29 to Hudson's Hope.  One week ago, we had turned south on highway 29 and gone to Tumbler Ridge...today we were completing the loop.

It was another gorgeous start to the day...sunny with a few clouds.  However, as we headed east, the cloud covering got thicker and it actually rained a bit.  This is the bridge over the Kiskatinaw River...



Chetwynd in the distance....

When we arrived in Chetwynd, we thought we would stop at the Visitors Centre and check out all of the Chainsaw Carvings.  Absolutely amazing...very talented people!  The carvings are lined up along the highway at the Visitors Centre...

These are in a small park across from the Centre...I love this one...amazing!

After our stop at the Visitors Centre, we headed north on highway 29 towards Hudson's Hope.  We passed Moberly Lake...

About another 40 kms along the road, we came to a suspension bridge that crosses over the Peace River...

...and the Peace Canyon Dam...

It wasn't long before we arrived in Hudson's Hope...

We decided to go straight to Lynx Creek RV Park, a few miles north, and return to Hudson's Hope later on for our sightseeing tour...

All the sites at Lynx Creek are on the Peace River...

Our view of the river...quite a lovely spot...

Once we were all set up it was time to drive the short distance back into Hudson's Hope.  We parked at the Visitors Centre...a very cool log cabin...

We chatted with a couple of nice young fellows in there and then went across the street to the Hudson's Hope Museum...

This is a church next door...

They have quite an extensive collection in the museum for such a small town...

 

We wandered around inside and then continued our tour outside...

Spectacular views of the Peace River...

Trapper's Cabin...

MacDonald House, Circa 1930s...

A large display inside...

Peck House, Circa 1930s...

It was well after 4:00 by the time we had finished our tour...time to go back to the campground and relax...tomorrow we plan on a trip up to WAC Bennett Dam.
