Day 26 Friday July 14 2023 Smithers 635 kms total trip 8353 kms

The Stewart-Cassiar Highway, 875 kms of no yellow line, no white lines and no shoulder but mostly good pavement all the way and wild flowers everywhere
Lots of food for Mr Bear
The bridge on the Stikine River
Little fox trotting along carrying his lunch
It’s rabbit today

Another great day in the North sunny with showers but getting smoky as we arrive in Smithers. We are told to expect a lot of smoke tomorrow as we go East on the Yellow Head Highway.

After a walk through town, we had dinner at the Riverhouse Restaurant and the room was nicely decorated with skis, snowshoes, canoe parts, bear skin, chainsaw, 6 inch thick spruce tables, river rocks etc… Then Dunnery told me it was all fake!

I wonder if the firefighters in grey overalls with blacken faces like the chimney sweep in Mary Poppins showing up for dinner were also part of the show, or did they just come back from a stint on the Bulkley Nechako fire?
