On the Way North

Thursday we crossed into Canada with little problem. Easy traffic day once we got away from the Canadian border. Hwy 1 north was practically empty. The boat tows a bit heavier than I expected. Probably because of the couch and all the stuff I have loaded in it. Tonight we are 450 miles north in Prince George, B.C.. Did go through a freak snow flurry today about 200 miles north of the border. The event only lasted about thirty seconds. Tomorrow we head for Prince Rupert. I suspect we will arrive about 5-6PM. Then a wait to load on the ferry until about 2AM. Not relishing the long wait, but once on board we will have a stateroom and can sleep well into morning. Don't know when we will post next. Perhaps Juneau and perhaps Gustavus. We hope to arrive in Gus the afternoon of the 10th. I have been having neck and upper back spasms from all the driving. I'm probably overdosing on Aleve. At least it lets me function. Glad to be off the road early and kick back. M&P

Just remember to keep hydrating! No one drinks enough water while they are driving. That could be part of the back pain issue. We don't want a repeat episode to happen to you!

BTW, Happy B-Day!
