PRINCE GEORGE, BC.  We are camped just to the west of Prince George in a typical Canadian campground, 30 amps of power, low water pressure, and severe potholes in the driveways.  Our site is called a drive-thru, but the hookups are positioned so that to use them with ease you must park the motorhome to the back, unhitch the Jeep and park it in front of the motorhome, then re-attach the Jeep before leaving.  Since we are leaving here tomorrow, we pulled on through and have used three sewer hoses to reach the sewer port in the back of the site rather than unhook the Jeep overnight only to re-hookup in the morning. 

For the first time since we left home in mid-May, today we used the campground laundry.  I was amazed at how much faster it is to use a laundry run on 220 volts instead of our motorhome 110 volts.  We have never trusted public laundries before, but we are just too beat to fool with a longer process onboard.  We really need rest after the arduous RV tour we took.  Tomorrow we drive to Valemount to stay in one place for a while. 

We have fallen behind on updating this blog, principally due to lack of internet connectivity on the tour.  We traveled to some nice towns and cities, but often to isolated back country places none of us had heard of.  We ended the tour with terrible weather and very muddy roads.  No place to drive a motorhome. 

We had a much nicer than expected farewell dinner last night in Smithers, BC, about 10 miles to the west of the tour's final campground.  It was the best prime rib I have ever eaten, with a large piece of cheesecake with raspberry sauce for dessert.  Huge portions, so we all over-ate.  It all ended amicably, as we had prayed.  Everyone at our table agreed that if they ever returned to Alaska, they would fly in and rent a vehicle for transportation.  Never again would they drive anything they own, especially a motorhome.

Very glad the long struggle is over.  Now I need to process the remaining photos that I took and eventually work on those Betty took.  Keep looking back at the former posts here since I shall try to add photos back at the time they were taken.
