A big driving day today. We headed out from Kamloops a little after 9am, heading for Prince George. We almost missed one of the most amazing views I have seen in my life, simply because it was behind us.<\/p>\n

\nKamloops Lake Rest Area, put simply, hosts one of the most stunning views I have ever seen. Erin almost missed out on seeing it up-close, as the “Beware Rattlesnakes” sign spooked her. A short while later we pulled in to Deadmans Creek Ranch; a recreation of an old frontier town. While this is still being built, it was a short and interesting stop off.<\/p>\n

Shortly after, we grabbed a brunch (technically an early lunch having not had breakfast.. \u00a0is that the same thing?) at Hungry Herbies diner. A decent burger, pouting, and a coffee, and off we headed again.<\/p>\n

The next stop was at 100 Mile House, where we saw the worlds largest cross country skis, video called Owen briefly, and stretched our legs for a while. The tourist centre in 100 Mile House has really put effort in to being a great place to pull over and rest.<\/p>\n

Back on the road, and the plan was to stop at a corn maze after a few hours. However, heavy rain scuppered our plans (really glad we bought the tarpaulin for the truck) so a quick coffee stop was all we had time for.<\/p>\n

Finally, we arrived at Prince George and went to have dinner with my cousin Roxi and her three kids. It was truly delightful to have a proper cooked meal, but even more delightful to see Roxi again (last time was in 2005) and meet her kids. As we ate, the heavens opened wider – thunder, lightning and rain – than they ever really get in England. We watched, and talked, and relaxed before heading to our hotel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
