Gorgeous morning at Fraser Lake! We tried to get on the toad as quickly though. Our goal was to make it as close as possible to the US/ Canada border. We drove until 7pm and then decided to call it quits- only about 60 miles from the border!
In the city of Prince George we connected to Highway 1 which brought us south and through the Cariboo valley and Fraser River valley and gorge. It was spectacular scenery and my phone pics do not do it justice at all nor did we stop to take pictures either. Central interior British Columbia is so dry and a town we drove through called Cache Creek is actually known as the Arizona of Canada. Super hot and super super dry!
We ended up doing another night of boondocking since there wasn’t many campgrounds and and they were all full. We didn’t realize it was a long weekend for Canadians and they were all out camping too! We pulled over at a random turn out and Beau noticed an unmarked side road off of it. It went down to the railroad below and was empty so that’s where we parked for the night!
We got a little nervous that some Canadian official would find us boondocking and we’d get in trouble but that never happened haha! Actually, shortly after we set up the camper a truck came down the road and inside were two men who worked for the railroad. They just waved to us and never stopped to say we couldn’t camp so all was good… I guess?! An awesome thing about this spot was boys got to watch at least 6 trains go by. They thought it was super cool!
