Falls in British Columbia

This country is beautiful.  We have got to know some wonderful people along the way.  Ken and Nora sent us up to two sets of water falls.  The first was in Hixon, B.C.  The falls were way off the main road and if someone had not told us about them we never would have seen the sign. 

 

After Hixon we headed to Chetwynd, B.C.  This town is know for it's 134 wood carvings.

 

 

 

And following up on another lead from Ken and Nora, we headed to Tumbler Ridge for more falls and beautiful lakes. 

 

 

 



The road to this fall was used by the coal mines and big rigs.  It was this road where we meet our match, a rock in the break pad.  What an awful noise. 

The mechanics here were so kind.  The first one didn't check the breaks because he couldn't hear the noise.  I took the second mechanic for a ride and he heard the noise.  Ten minutes later he was handing me the rock that was making the noise.

 

 

 

 

We are now in Dawson Creek, B.C.  We are getting to know the people that we

will be traveling with. 

 

I am not sure when I will have Wi-Fi again, but I will still be taking photos as we go.

 

The count this far is 1 moose, 4 black bear and lots of deer.

 



 

Hope, British Columbia

We crossed the boarder and almost took out the guard shack.  We had to unhook the car and hook up after Bill got the RV and I got the car through the check point.  Thank God it was an easy pass through.  I have heard so many horror stories. 

We stayed at Sunshine Valley RV Resort and this was our view.  We stayed here for two days.

Our first day of exploring took us to Hell's Gate.  It's a tram ride over the rapids.  The explorer who came through here said, "The waters are so ruff this must be the gates of hell."  And the name stuck.

 

 The salmon ladder is on the right

 

 

 

 The second day we went to Harrison Hot Springs, Bridal Veil Falls and toured the town of Hope.

 

 

 

 

 

The town of Hope is known for its chain saw carvings.  They had some beautiful work.

 

 

 

This carving is dedicated to a police dog who died

protecting his partner.

 

 

 We have gone through lots of tunnels.

 

Today we are at 100 Mile House, B.C.  We will be here for two days. 

Hope you all enjoying our adventure north.

Our Last Stop in Washington is with Friends

This life style is so great because you can meet up with people you got to

know at another place.
