Day 19 - Traveled Between The Princes

Originally I thought that this was sawdust. On my return to Prince George I looked again and now think that is a pile of heating pellets.

Fraser Lake. Just one of the many lakes in British Columbia

The mountains are showing on the horizon!

I arrived safely in Prince Rupert after traveling 453 miles from Prince George. It was raining and cold (43 degrees) when I started loading the bike at 7:30 so I put on the Gerbing heated clothing and put the rain gear on over that! (Talk about the Pillsbury Dough Boy!) And I stayed warm and dry the entire trip.

I was taking Route 16, the Yellowhead Highway all the way. About an hour into the drive I ran out of rain and eventually into sunshine. About that time I started to see some mountains in the distance. I'd say that the 2nd half of the drive was spent zipping between huge mountain ridges. Many had snow and a few looked like they were home to glaciers.

I ran back into rain about 60 miles from Prince Rupert. The rain was way too heavy to take any pictures which is a shame as there was a lot to photograph. There were probably six or so waterfalls visible from the roadway alone.

After dinner I walked around town and decided that I don't want to spend tomorrow here as there isn't anything to do. I'll be heading out to Hyder, Alaska in the morning.
