Smithers

Not far out of Prince Rupert the rain quit and the sun started to peak through the clouds.  After a stop in Terrace to fill our tank, at $5.44 a gallon, we continued on to the town of Smithers.  We settled the Winnebago in to the Glacier View Campground (yes we can actually see a glacier from our motorhome) we got in the Jeep and headed to Adam's Igloo Wildlife Museum.  Adam is a taxidermist who has mounted the plethora of North American wildlife he has on exhibit in the museum.  The museum was very interesting and speaking with Adam was even more interesting.  Well worth the stop.

Our next stop was to the rapids of the Bulkley River at Moricetown where the members of the First Nation harvest salmon using gaff hooks and nets.

After a quick visit to downtown Smithers to purchase a new battery for Mary's watch we returned to the Winnebago for dinner and a bit of relaxation.

Our desire for sunshine may be coming to fruition.  Check out this sunset.
