On the road to Walla Walla – Sept. 7th

The next morning, I had the opportunity to wander around and get some pictures. We were near a small lake with a mirror surface with wispy fog kissing it.

Early in the morning. Getting ready to get on the road again.

The lake...not much more then a pond, really.

Ripples from me standing on a floating dock head over to a very nice house across the lake.

Nice little park.

After a three hour drive, we arrive in Prince George. Ready to find a shop to work on my tranni leak, and a tire store to try to find a good used tire or two to take with me on the nearly 1,000 miles that are left on the trip before we would get to the states. Costs in Canada for things like tires are prohibitive.

And off we go again.

See that giant novelty blue beer can on top of the building on the left? It's a brew pub.

We got to Prince George today in the early afternoon and stopped here because it’s a brew pub Dan wanted to visit. Had an early dinner, (late lunch?), while I borrowed the phone book and looked up tire stores and RV repair places. Called several places and got some quotes and recommendations so I could get the tranni fluid leak (remember that?) fixed and maybe find a used tire to take with me since all four of the rear tires were the same age as the one that blew. We found the visitors center and Dan loaded up on maps and books about local trails and provincial parks he wanted to hike. Later we found a nice RV park off the freeway a few miles from town and settled in. The next day would be one of running around and getting things fixed.
