Finally back on track

We left around 8:30AM and went through customs again. No problem. We went on our way towards Prince George. It is a long ride between fuel stops. We filled up before we left town. Three hours later we stopped at a rest area. A young woman there begged us for some gas. Jim gave her the two gallons he was carrying and he wouldn't take any money for it. We continued on to the next town, which was an Indian Village, Kitwancool. It had a lot of totem poles and was known to its collection. There were two gas pumps: status and non status. The Indians had a status card and got a better rate. We knew that the restaurants were rare on our routes so we bought some snacks for lunch. Lunch was chips with candy bars for dessert.

The countryside continues to be beautiful but it is overcast today and occasionally there are sprinkles of rain. East of East Hazleton, the landscape started to change. It was farmland and the only animals that we saw were horses and cows. Mountains were still a nice back drop. We have started driving through some small towns. It is as if we are back into modern civilization again.

Sixty miles from Prince George, Jim's car broke down. It was a blown head gasket. It took about an hour to fix it. While they were working on it, three cars stopped. Two of them were people offering to help and they owned Model A's. One of the guys took us to their house. He has three A's, 1928 Special Coupe, 1931pick up, and a 1931 Sport Coupe. They are beautifully restored. The pick up was recently judged and got 960 out of 1,000 possible points. We wanted to stay later but there were not any rooms in their town so we had to go to Prince George.  It started raining and and it was dark. It was very hard to see but we made it to our hotel. To our new "A" friends in British Columbia are: Bud, Lin, Dave & Susan. Thanks for your hospitality!
