Breaking news..
After 77 days without hookups we got hooked in Prince Rupert at the Prince Rupert RV Campground, because it is getting late in the year the provincial park outside of town and it was closed for the season. We have done well without hookups using the generator when needed.
At the present we are in Prince Rupert, BC on the west coast. This is a busy little town with a lot going on. Prince Rupert is a major port on the inland waterway system. It has a huge container shipping terminal port for shipping containers all around the word. We watched it from a viewing point high on a hill and the activity looked like a little city of ants each carrying something back and forth. The containers are handled from train or truck and placed on ships, much of it automated handling.
I am posting this link to google that will show the location and other informative pictures.
I am able to do this because we also have Wifi here in this park.
We spent the day in Prince Rupert yesterday. We wandered around the visitors center and had lunch at Smiles Seafood restaurant. It has been operating since 1934 at the same location. We walked around the downtown area and viewed several of the many totem poles carved by the native Indian craftsman. I chose to visit the CN railroad museum while Barbara was doing some shopping. We also watched the planes come and go at the Seaplane port. This is just like a airport, except that the runaway are water in the bay. The planes taxi out and take one of two runaways. They have radial piston engines that have a lot of power, they get in the air very quickly.
Our next stop will be along the Yellowhead Highway, about halfway between here and Prince George, BC. We will be in Prince George the next night.
