Sharp's Travels

We both had a good nights sleep last night. After breakfast Gay checked the oil in the truck and noticed one of the tires on the trailer was wearing funny, so he took it off and put on the spare. He says it has a loose wheel bearing and by changing to the spare it will be good now until we are back in Florida. It’s great that he carries all the tools to do the work, as well as the compressor to add more air to the spare tire. It was noon before we left our camping park.

We skirted Dawson Creek. The countryside is a farming community. Winter wheat fields and hay ready to be picked up.

We took a break at Chetwynd. It’s the “Chain Saw Sculptures Capitol of the World”. We had some lunch and then headed to the Visitors Center to get a walking map of the town to see where all the sculptures were located. It’s hard to believe they were done with a chain saw. They have such detail.

We went from the valley up into the mountains. The road was curvy but at least there were no frost heaves to deal with. They said to watch for moose but we didn’t see any. My wild animal card is EMPTY today.

We dropped back down into Prince George and found a nice campground with WIFI, cable and full hook-up for only $25.00. WOW!
