18 JULY 2008

Hi All: Here's a couple photo's we took at a place called Chetwynd, BC on the way here to Prince
George. They have an annual chainsaw artist thing there to see who can make the best stature or whatever. These are some of yearly winners work. They are made from a big piece of wood and takes hours to do. They were fantastic, and beautiful arts of work. The other one is a place we stopped for lunch and I had just cleaned the bugs off the windshield and the phantom camera person struck again.

We had a real nice day here in Prince George. It's a big city of over 80,000 people. We went to breakfast for the first time in a while, then of course found a WalMart and then a MALL. While the girls were in the Mall Bob and I went to a place called "Princess Auto" as recommended by the guy here at the campground. Well, he did us a good turn. The place would not have been a place I would have picked to go in due to the name, but they had more than just auto stuff in there. It was like a big big Harbor Freight place. They had EVERYTING in there. I didn't buy anything, but sure would like to have if I had a place to put it. Bob and I spent the hour the girls gave us to meet them at the mall. Could have stayed another hour. Bob did find one small thing he needed. Valve stem extensions he's been looking for. Wish we had one of these stores in Florida.

We then found a Dairy Queen and had to have a cone there, then went to a nice restaurant that the manager here recommended for dinner. It was very very good too. Had a real nice day.

Bob and Dorene are going to Hyder,BC today to see the bears eat salmon. We are sad that we are splitting up as we are heading south to Seattle. Bob's stone has not passed yet, but his pain is manageable with Ibuprofen pretty much he says. We have had a super time the last 10 weeks together. We will miss them very much on the rest of the trip. Could not have had as much fun on this trip without them...

Well, better get going and get on the things that need done before we leave here. Have about an hour to do 2 hours of stuff.

Hope we can keep getting WiFi like we have here. It's nice and fast, but it does quit at times.

Good trip Bob and Dorene........
