Prince Rupert to Houston BC

Time to move on down the road as they say......Day 104 of our Alaska Adventure....53 degrees this morning...



 Orange bus with over 12 people coming and going


 They were camping.....never seen a bus like this one


 Walmart is in the mall in Prince Rupert


 Center for the Arts...beautiful building


 low clouds and mist


Prince Rupert is known as "Gateway to Alaska" waterway


 This section of the Yellowhead Highway was built along the Skeena River





 The Yellowhead Highway 16 is 902 miles long


  from Prince Rupert BC to Edmonton AB


 Some 833 miles had to be blasted from solid rock


beautiful scenery....lots of ferns along the highway


 We are at low tide on the Skeena River


lush rainforest  








 each curve has a different view


the drive from Prince Rupert to Terrace with the coastal mountains


 the drive from Terrace to Houston is quite different


 We are starting to see more color


 Cariboo Mountains


forestry and mining is major 


warmer and drier weather


 We drop into farm country


agriculture is major in this area


 Hay fields along the road


 Shady Rest RV Park was one of the nicest parks we have visited


tubular begonias that she has had for 20 years

We are at 7,593 miles into our adventure.  We still do not have cell service but were able to use the campground Wi-Fi
