Cariboo

Our destination was Barkerville, our trip started well, but it wasn't to be. Not to worry, it ended *very* well.

Left Vancouver 7:15pm thursday, after Judy got home from work, showered, and packed the cooler.

We got some take-away from Burgers, Etc. on Hastings Street in Burnaby (great chicken, pulled pork, and, beef brisket).

We got to Hope at almost 9pm and set up in Telte-Yet (People of the River) site right next to the Fraser Canyon as it flows out of the awesome Fraser Canyon.

Walked through Hope looking for food, but ended up cooking some hot dogs on the camp stove, since all the restaurants was closed.

I was up at an astonishing 7am friday and had half finished my coffee, yogurt, and, cereal by the time Judy got up at 8:00.

We left shortly after 10am, had lunch at the surprisingly excellent The Olde Towne Inn & Restaurant on Hwy 1 in the Fraser Canyon.

Afterwords, we headed north into the Cariboo.

There were storm clouds all around and CBC Radio One reported thunder showers in Williams Lake, up ahead.

We decided to attempt getting to a rec site beyond Williams Lake, close to Quesnel.
