Day 32

July 15 - Monday

We finally had to say good bye to Chetwynd and the wonderful wood carvings that will last in our memory for years to come.  Yesterday we decided to take a ride and see what the Canadian's First Nations were about. As we traveled over paved and mostly dirt roads, we found two communities of First Nations.  Very modern living, nothing like the First Nations on the Coastal areas.  They maintained their own schools, health department, if you will, and a community area that sometimes held a past rodeo, maybe a baseball park, and a large Day Care Center.

I think I have seen enough of roads, houses, museums and parks.  I'm ready for this trip to be over.

On a sad note while driving to Quesnel, BC, a baby deer was on the side of the road and it became very confused what to do.  Both rigs stopped but the other side (going North) apparently was in more of a hurry and slowed down but not stopped and YES, the baby deer was hit.  It fought it's way across the street down a ravine and was not spotted after that.  I just don't understand why we (as a people)are in such a hurry especially when wild animals are on the roadway and there is plenty of time to stop and wait for the animal to move.

The RV park that we have stopped for the night is very, very nice.  REAL grass and NO mosquitos.  The RV Park (Airport RV Park) had been a drive-in movie theater at one time.  Those born before the 60's will remember them and what a great time one could have waiting for it to get dark enough to see the picture on the big screen.  I think many babies were conceived during this era, don't you?  Something about their pizza's were the best and OMG the hot dogs, YES!!!!!!

The hosts have managed this property for 20 years and just recently (4 years) have managed it as a RV park.  They have applied for Good Sam's approval as a RV Park.  I'm sure they will make it from what I can see.

I just happened to ask a Good Sam's approved RV park just how did they become part of the Organization.  And they in fact were having their RV park inspected by Good Sam the following day.  There are certain amenities RV parks must have in acceptable conditions. 

Well, this is my input for the day.
