Day 37: 6/4/15
Left McBride at 9:15am in sprinkling rain heading to Prince George and beyond. At 10am, Mary spotted a big brown bear on the side of the road, 5 minutes later, she spotted a black bear, we tried to take pictures of him but as soon as we stopped, he high-tailed it into the woods.
About 11, we stopped at an ancient old growth forest. They had hiking trails and a 900 meter boardwalk. We enjoyed our walk among the enormous trees but as we headed back, the mosquitos found us and we barely made it out alive.
We stopped in Prince George for gas and some groceries we couldn’t find in McBride and about 2:30 we continued west on 16. Mary checked the “Camping in BC” book and found a place, Pipers Glen in Frasier Lake, BC so we made that our goal for the day.
About 4:45, we arrived at Pipers Glen and were welcomed by a fantastic view of Frasier Lake. $24 a night and a spectacular view to boot – what a deal.
We were talking with the folks next door (Susan and Bruce from Corpus Christi, TX) when Bruce mentioned that he had been to Tennessee several times to visit his sister who lives in Loudon in a place called Tellico Village! Small World!
