Central British Columbia






Almost immeditely we had better weather when we got on highway 16 outside of Jasper. Trees just starting to bud, dandelions in huge numbers, and new spring leaves. We stayed one night with hookups and then 4 nights in Provencial Parks. The parks are alot like our state parks. $15 a night with toilets and sometimes showers. Lots of very nice and helpful folks. I love the accent, mixture of soft Irish and Scottish like, Ey? Green farm land surrounded by snow capped MTs. Wooded parks, very lovely part of BC.

Took a beautiful hike through an anciet forest with red cedars 2,000 years old. It was mossy with skunk cabbage coming up in gorgeous shades of yellow. Felt like a rain forest. Saw our first Totem poles at a First People village called KSAN. These native people are thriving due to monies from fishing.
