After hugs and handshakes, we thanked Bob and Sue for their hospitality and were off...it was just after 9:00. It was another gorgeous day...what a great stretch of weather we've been enjoying!We went south on highway 97, retracing our route that we had take on the way north.
We drove through Quesnel...
McLeese Lake...
...and then Williams Lake...
The scenery on the drive south was just beautiful...blue sky and not a cloud anywhere...
Just look at the bug splatter on the windshield! This is the worst we have seen it! So...I had better apologize now...anymore pictures I take (unless out the side window...) are going to include splattered bugs!!
Here we are approaching Cache Creek...
Spences Bridge...crossing the Thompson River...
The river looks a lot lower than on our trip north...
We really weren't sure how far we were going to drive today, thinking that we might just try to find a pull-out along the highway to stay at for the night. But when we reached Skihist Provincial Park, we decided to go in and take a look. The information on the website says that the park has been updated, making the sites big rig friendly.
The road winds up a hill and although the sites themselves are fairly level, the road is quite steep. It does level off as you continue into another loop.. We easily backed into one and after leveling off one side, we tried to level front-to-back without unhitching. This involved dumping the air out of the back air bags of the truck. As I mentioned the other day, the switch inside the cab has been leaking air...well...it blew right off! Oh...Oh!..... Steve found the switch out in the gravel in front of the truck and glued it back together...sure hope it holds!
I did the minimal set up inside and then it was time to relax in our chairs outside. At least the sun had gone down behind the mountain...it was pretty hot when we arrived! The camp attendant came by to collect...$21/night (no services), a little steep, we thought...oh well...
After dinner we went for a walk around the upper loop of the campground and then settled inside to watch a taped program...before heading to bed early.
