Frikadellen and more good German Food

We had morning coffee on Sylvia and Stan's patio with all the crowd.
Dinner was Frikadellen, a German type of hamburger patties and believe me - delicious.
We're being spoiled by Gisela. We are parked in her apt parking lot and she comes down for morning coffee and often invites us up for dinner. We've loved spinach with fried eggs, goulash with potato dumplings, chicken soup and black bread and cold cuts and cheeses.

The weather has basically been good, but it seems to change every hour. We're either running for cover or sweating when the sun reappears.

Party at Radley Park

Stewart and Amanda threw a huge party at Radley Park down on the Kitimat River. Lots of family and friends celebrating being together.

                                                               Justin chopped wood.

                      There was wonderful chicken and ribs on the BBQ.

Deryn's Grad

We enjoyed a lovely candlelit introduction and Grad ceremony.

Lots of family were in town for the occasion.

Party at Stan and Sylvia's after.

Arrive in Kitimat

We passed Morricetown where the First Nations people still gaff salmon in the river. We're driving along the "River of Tears", a notorious length of highway where many women have been abducted over the years.

We stopped in New Hazelton and visited the Xsan Cultural Village and Museum housed in 7 Longhouses along the river. Very well done and interesting.

Our next adventure was a B Train (semitrailer) flying down the road towards us and bang came the rock. It was so big it scared us.
We arrived safely in Kitimat and were driving out to Hospital  Beach and Alcan, when ' bang' another rock, in the car this time.

On to Smithers

We stopped in Prince George for fuel at the Pilot/Frying J where the pump seized and we had to switch to another and then go back to the first one and put in $5 free diesel to clear the screen. Lots of activity to figure that out and our Visa phoned asking if we were at a gas station as someone had just reauthorized 2 separate $400 payments. Got all sorted out and away we went.

 We enjoyed driving this route, past many farms and lots of lumber activity.

We lunched in Vanderhoof and stayed at the old Zellers parking lot O/N in Smithers.

Off to Kitimat

The last time we went up was in 2006 with our truck and Alpenlite, can't even believe it was that long ago.
Can't wait to see everyone.

We cruised past Hope and up the Fraser Canyon, arriving in Quesnel to stay in the WalMart parking lot.

Celebrated my birthday at Denny's.

The Neighbourhood's Together Again.

Our local 'truckers' are home for few days, Kathy and Bill are here again, so we could get together.
So nice to do so.
