greetings from BC

Beverly broke down on the Alaska Highway a few days ago and we were lucky enough to have really nice guy stop that happed to be a mechanic. He also happened to grow up 20 miles from me in California...small world isnt it? He said she needed a new alternator and he would install it for us for free if we went and picked up the part. So we parked her next to a beautiful lake in the middle of no where British Colombia and headed 3 hours to get the part, which was in stock (thank goodness) and it took him 20 minutes to put it in, then we were on our way. We were so lucky that he happened to stop and was willing to help.

The drive up to that point and the remaining few hours here was another difficult drive with all of the wildlife on the road. We saw heards of wild horses, bison and caraboo on and next to the road. We would round a corner or over a hill and here would be animals standing in the road. I think we are past most of that now or at least hope we are past it LOL

Tomorrow we will head to Prince George then down to Vancouver. Today is a down day so I can send resumes and follow up on some sent. (I have to be a good girl and look for work)

I will keep everyone posted on our progress . Below I tried to post a short video to show how fun the animals are....will keep trying
