Beau and I woke up pretty pooped from last night’s craziness but the boys were happy as clams! We packed up as quickly as possible and finished up the Cassiar Highway. At the intersection of the Cassiar and Yellowhead 16 is a historical town named Kitwanga. The first photo shows the historical battle mound where a First Nations Tribe lived on top and had some fierce battles with other tribes. They rolled spiked logs down the mound’s sides to keep enemies from getting to their village.
After this pit stop we drove most of the day eastbound on Yellowhead Highway 16 past Peince George. We stopped for delicious ice cream right off the highway at a little stand in the town of Telkwa. It was about 90F so that helped cool us down!
We ended up staying the night at Piper Glen RV Park on Fraser Lake. So thankful the owners opened up a bathroom for us so we could shower and use the toilet! In British Columbia we are not allowed to stay at provincial campgrounds and most private campgrounds who accept Americans will not less us use their washroom facilities. I’m definitely going to leave a nice online review for this RV Park though! Felt so good to finally wash my hair really well!
It was a really hot day but there was a nice breeze coming off the lake. And barely any mosquitoes yay!! The boys had a blast biking down a hill near our site. They were totally showing off for the Canadian family we met. The boys were biking so fast everyone kept holding their breath that they wouldn’t crash. Oh boy, I’m in for it when they get older…
