Just when you think it can’t get any better – there it is right in front of you – AGAIN!

The ‘farewell committee’ was out to say good-bye and to see us on our way as we left Jasper – –

The elk bid us farewell – –

– – but, really didn’t want us to leave.  So, they just blocked our way.

Today’s destination was Prince George as we began our journey along the Yellowhead Highway 16.  But, on the way was another of our fav’s – Mount Robson.  The highest peak in the Canadian Rockies it stands at almost 13,000′ and – just like Denali – creates its own weather system.  Therefore, one is not likely to see the top or the clear mountain.  Except for us;-)  It is one of those ‘you just have to wait for it’ times.

The usually shrouded peak of Mount Robson.

And then a brief FULL view of the peak.  AWESOME!!

Just another FABULOUS lunch spot!

We could spend hours looking at this incredible sight as it changes from minute to minute.  But, Prince George was calling.  An interesting city – inhabited by the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation thousands of years before any Europeans arrived.  In 1807 a fur trader by the name of Simon Fraser established a fur trading post and nearly 100 years later agricultural development began around the trading post when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway entered the region.  Taking time off from history lessons – we just played golf in this princely city at the Prince George Golf & Curling Club.  Even though the course was in flat fields – there was still wildlife and reminders by way of inventive signs.

This sign should be posted on the first hole of ALL golf courses!!

While at the Golf & Curling Club, we thought we should join the Canadians and try our hand at curling.  However, it seems that curling is only a winter activity and the curling portion of the building was closed up tight;-(  Guess they don’t have to practice year round.

Tomorrow it is back on the Yellowhead Highway 16 westward to Smithers.

See ya later – E & G from Prince George
