Fort Telkwa...and WiFi!

We have arrived at a campsite in Telkwa, BC and finally have WiFi! Our camp sits on a bluff overlooking the Bulkley River. Simply beautiful. And did I mention WiFi?
We have spent the past 4 days camped along Francois Lake, a 72 mile lake near Burns Lake, BC. Our site was wonderful...right on the water with no one else around us. Downside: low volt electricity so we had to be very careful with what we turned on, i.e. hairdryers. And no WiFi. But it was worth every bit of it.
Butch made a friend who took him fishing out on the lake in his boat. He got a great waterside tour...and 1 rainbow trout.
These pictures are of our campsite, ferry ride across the lake to Southside, and some of the pretty sites we saw.
Tomorrow we will  join our tour at an RV park about 50 miles north of here and begin the Alaska adventure. So far, in 23 days, we have traveled 3200 miles. We won't reach Alaska until July 2nd when we arrive in Skagway.

    1. We came through there on our way to Lake Louise. That highway, from Calgary to Banff, is now shut down. We're wondering if some of our fellow caravaners won't make it.
      I imagine there will be numerous times where we will be MIA. But we are safe!
