The Mighty Peace River
We left Barkerville/Wells this morning and are now sitting along the Peace River, near Hudson Hope. We pulled into Lynx Creek RV Park which is a lovely spot right on the Peace River. Even Puttins enjoyed the scenery. There were boats speeding along and in the evening there was even a fisherman trying his luck.
In the morning I went for a walk with Lucy along the bank and noticed a fast moving “stick”. It appeared to be a bit odd so I stopped and watched it for a few minutes. Lo and behold, it was an otter!
The poor Peace River. The lady who owns the RV Park came to collect the $30 fee for the night (electric and water provided with dump station, showers and washroom). We chatted for a bit. All of her property will be under 80 feet of water if the government has its way with Site C. What a shame and waste of prime agricultural land.
It was really sad to see what would be lost should the Site C go ahead.
We are now sitting in Fort Nelson. It was a gorgeous drive with rain showers and far off lightening. There really isn’t much in between Fort St. John and Fort Nelson but muskeg and mosquitoes. Beautiful, though.
And, thankfully, there were only a few really steep hills to go down. Our brakes are holding up. Pics will be uploaded to an album.

Did your SPOT stop working?
Nope, I think the spot should still be working. I turned it on last night and it said it was tracking.
