today was a day full of driving. approximately 750km from prince rupert to prince george, or "about nine hours" as the canadians would measure it. we only had a few stops, the weather was rather changeable and capricious. so, good weather for driving. and good for you, as there's not much text to be read, but also not many pictures, with most of them being drive-by photo shots. one longer stop was at sealy lake[02-07] to have a break and some fresh air. next stop was at the irrigation (or dunalter) lake[17-29] (yes, that is really the official name). a really nice place with tables and benches there and a changing cubicle, so we assumed people really go there for swimming. but definitely not today. at first only a small bulldozer was there doing some repair work on the gravel road that led there. but his work was done about ten minutes after we have arrived, so in the end we were all alone there, having our lunch break. really a tranquil, beautiful spot we picked. a warning sign for moose[35] crossing was also there, but as we by now believe, bears and moose are a lie here in west canada. the signs are just to make tourists believe those extinct animals are still there. almost at the end of our trip we were rewarded with a wonderful double rainbow[49]. ah, and my gps tracker works again - yippieh. thus, here it is, the... track for day 13.
