This morning we’re heading back down this wonderful corridor back to the junction. This is one section I don’t mind riding twice.
A bit of morning fog in the trees
I believe this is called Horseshoe glacier
BAck out to the Cassier Highway for a ways, then back west to the coast again. Today’s route is like a big horseshoe. As the crow files it’s probably 200 miles, but the road is closer to 300. From the junction with the 16, the road follows a river all the way to the coast, with a short overland strecth into Prince Rupert.
A pit stop at a roadside rest area. Very green and peaceful
One of those wow shots.
Another wow.
Our campground in Prince Rupert. The whole campground is perched on the side of a hill, the only flat spot put both of our tents touching. I had to put the rainfly on inside out to put the door on this side of the tent.
Tomorrow we have a long ferry ride to Port Hardy at the northern tip of Vancouver Island. We go scout out the ferry terminal, we have to be there very early in the morning. We also hit a bank to get a little more money and do a bit of shopping. Prince Rupert is a pretty good sized city, complete with traffic signals:) A bit of laundry and a good nights rest.

Awesome blog, first one I have ever read. That is some great reading. I tell you waht, you guys have some balls. Just looking at those pics at the top of those passes or where there is NOTHING but miles and miles of you that gravel road and trees, why that takes real guts. No triple AAA or ambulance sercice out there! You must have brought a couple of bottles of tire sealer with you among other things. tooI urge you not to delete your blog as it is great reading. I would love to do what you guys did. That must have been really cool. Well take care and thanks, John
