Sunny Smithers!

We left our hosts, Barb and Ken of Kitimat well fed and supplied for the road trip to Smithers.  It was raining, so I got to test out my gear.  It does not leak. 
By the time we got back to the junction at Terrace the road was dry.   We preceeded on to Smithers with a rest stop at Kitwanga and the start of the Cassiar Highway.

We arrived in the early afternoon to sunny spring weather.  A fabulous ride with dry roads and light traffic.  The Skeena turns into the Bulkley River as we proceed into the interior of BC.  We drove past  the magnificent Hazeltons the swollen Bulkley River filling with daily snowmelt.  This winter dropped the most snow that I have seen in all of my experience in this area of Canada.
We checked in and drove up to the cabins on the skihill.  www.hudsonbaymountain.com

In the evening we were presenters and the program for the  Smithers Rotary Club.  The reception warm and this was the biggest turnout so far.  President Gary presented me with a check for the Rotary Foundation, this in addition to their earlier contributions of over $4000. 

The Smithers Rotary Club with many friends supports RFAR!
