Life is a Highway

Today was a driving day. We watched the farms and rolling hills turn to foothills and then mountains, and joined the mighty Skeena in her path.

For lunch we pulled off on a quiet side road by Endako Mine and enjoyed charcuterie from the cooler while surrounded by pine trees.

Another stop of note was in Smithers, where we had a lovely early dinner (guess who ate what). We also visited a bakery Dave’s colleague had recommended to buy treats for tomorrow, and a roadside fruit stand for some Okanagan cherries and peaches.

Witset was another interesting stop, where the First Nation harvests salmon by dip net in a waterfall narrows.

We pulled into Terrace near bedtime, but excited for the real adventure start – tomorrow we go to Anhluut’ukwsim Lax̱mihl Angwinga’asanskwhl Nisg̱a’a Park, also known as Nisg̱a’a Memorial Lava Bed Park.

A note for those who read yesterday’s post within a few hours of it going live – Dave has added a drone video and a phone video to the end of the post.
