Hixon, BC

Today was pretty uneventful. We covered about 230 miles mostly in light to moderate rain so scenery was at a minimum. We did accomplish two things today. We found a Boston Pizza in Williams Lake so lunch and dinner was a treat. Also, we were finally able to set our odometer correctly to correspond with "The MilePost 2016" guide book we had purchased for the trip. Once set properly, it was very easy to see where we were and the interesting sites along our route. 

We decided to spend the night in Hixon, a very small village 30 miles south of Prince George. Staying here with 500 people seemed better than Prince George with 85,000. Charlie and I took a nice walk on an ECO Trail next to the river and Karen stayed at home worrying about the two of us being eaten by a bear. Well, at least she was worried about Charlie. At the desk when we checked into this park the hostess told she had chased a bear from the campground with a garbage can lid and a wooden spoon this morning. They grow their women tough in this neck of the woods. Hell with a gun, just attack with a wooden spoon!
