Cache Creek to Prince George, BC

Today was another great day driving up the AlCan.Although today felt quite a bit more like we were actually driving the AlCan, as opposed to yesterday which felt more like we were driving to Chelan. The snow last night while we were in Cache Creek turned the dessert to a white wonderland. We also started climbing uphill to get into the mountains so everything was very snowy.

Our main stop of the day was in a town called Quesnel (pronounced kwe-nel). Milepost told us about the Quesnel and District Museum and Archives and we knew we had to see it. There was a creepy doll named Mandy, lots of sewing materials, a moose head, and this creepy guy. Just kidding that's Cole.

After our awesome tour of the museum, we stopped by the river for some lunch and a walk. The ice over and around the river is breaking up so it was pretty cool to see big chunks floating down the river. Deffinitely feeling more like the AlCan.

Getting fierce on the Voyage Rock...

Quesnel has these fire hydrants painted like figures from the town's rich history! 

Classic

 Quesnel: also the home of the world's largest gold pan. Wow! That's a big gold pan!

So the successful 6 hour drive landed us in Prince George, BC where we conveniently booked a lovely motel right accross the road from the Treasure Cove Casino! We're hoping to strike it rich in gold country. Or at least hear a really great cover band playing some Black Eyed Peas favorites!
