Nearly there

We're following a green corridor towards snow capped mountains. We're past the mountain pine beatle areas with red, dead trees covering about 40% of the more southern forests. It's just beautiful and very peaceful up here. You feel quite alone with so little traffic. We saw 1 young black bear at roadside and saw the mountains, 7 Sisters as we went by. We came to the 30' high slide 48 Km east of Terrace and proceeded through, one lane at a time. It's still sliding as fast as they haul dirt away so it's a worry. This is the bottom right side, as the slide area goes up nearly to the top of the mountian toward the right. We're following the Skeena Rover now which is down 4' but you can see the silt left on the vegetation where it covered the road last week for 2 kilometers. This is the only road, Highway 16, into Terrace and beyond so the weather conditions have really wrecked havoc with many people. There is still a tremendous amount of snow up on the mountains. We arrived in Kitimat at 10:30 a.m. and settled in at Jed Stump's Estates, the name of this 40? year old campground which is never going to make it into any prestigious guidebook with its 15 amp power. Popped over to see Ron's niece and sister and getting organized.
