Cache Creek and on..to Kamloops

We left 100 Mile and wanted to take a side route on Highway 24.. but missed the turnoff.  Boo on me.
I was trying to be very vigilant about deer on the roadway.  We ended up in Clinton.

Then on to Cache Creek and a coffee stop.  Sorry will miss the CC Rotary Club as we move on to Kamloops, BC

Kamloops is at the end of the lake.  Kamloops Lake of course.  Beautiful country.

The remains of the day... Nap time!  We are in Kamloops BC.

100 Mile BC

We road to 100 Mile BC,  joined by Rotarian John on a BMW GS800 with only 300 miles on the clock.

We stopped at a famous Cariboo rest spot and captured the moment.

Later met with Rotarians at a local resturaunt.  Everyone has been so kind and supportive.
100 Mile like RFAR!  Thanks Daryl and Rick.

Williams Lake a Jewel in the hills.

RFAR was graciously well comed at Williams Lake.  I presented to a group of interested Rotarians in a beautiful private home.  The wood work was captivating.

View speaks for it's self.

And true blue Rotarians......

Williams Lake likes RFAR!

Quesnel, a french boy's name.

We arrived in Quesnel and attended the regular meeting at the Legion Hall. We were greated by the incoming District Governor Rebecca.  Great Lunch, good fellowship and the Club was interested and supportive.

Prince George, The Capitol of the North

That is what the sign says.. we rode the 80 some miles from Vanderhoof, (the geographical center of BC) to Prince George in spring sunshine.  One coyote munching on road kill was spotted.
Met up with the PG Rotary Downtown Club and enjoyed fellowship and information that the really do support the Foundation.. so far $15000 this year.  
What do they say... you don't ask and you don't get.   My brash self asked anyway..  I got a token.. so better than nothing. and I congratulate the club for its success in raising funds and supporting my ideals.  The club has numerous PHF and PHS members. 
So, I was preaching to the Choir, so to speak.
Tomarrow, I present to the Morning Club at 7am.

Burns Lake, BC

As we entered the town, two deer crossed the road in front of me.  They were close.. but not that close.
We see more deer near the towns then out.. maybe it is safer there.

On to Burns Lake and stopped at the town enterance park... a local Rotary project.

We met with local Rotarians and had lunch.. The  Club has made significate contributions to the Foundation this year so far with over $5500 contributed.  One member has added to this total a contribution of $1000  and has awarded RFAR a Gold Star.  Thank you for supporting the Foundation.

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!
