July 8 Smithers British Columbia

Left our lakefront campground and proceeded to drive the last 100 miles of the Cassiar. Still beautiful scenery and a fairly easy drive. 2 years ago the 500 mile Cassiar highway was a dirt road so our timing was excellent. We reached the Yellowhead highway and turned east towards prince george about 200 miles away. We found the cute town of Smithers about 40 miles down the road and an inexpensive municipal campground with ......wait for it..........excellent Internet service and free yes I said free firewood. Also the town of Smithers has a Safeway and tomorrow has an open air farmers market. What more could we ask for. So Smithers is our location for the night. Thinking of possibly relocating to here...................NOT!
Spoke to our beloved children and grandchildren because we also have phone service here in the metropolis of Smithers. Can understand a little of their phone conversation.....they want us to bring them something from the far northwest. Now if only our grandchildren can begin to talk. :-) that's all folks ending on a little joke
