Fort St John,BC Bound

Plans were made months before ,booked a car,set the day to travel and the day came. We were supposed to depart at 5:30am but working on African time we were 30minutes late as we had to drive to two different houses to pick up the other travellers. I was excited as I had told myself that summer 2011, I wanted to travel and see places around British Columbia.

I have passed through Abbottsford, Chilliwack before but never really noticed the landscape as it was the cold months of the year when it was all foggy.The landscape here was amazing, magnificent,seeing all the green hills intertwining each other.Since I had only slept for 1hr 30minutes the previous night it didn't take me long to start dosing off.I slept for like two hours and I was a bit energized to view from the passenger seat to enjoy the drive in the passenger seat. Good music was playing in the background and there were different discussions.

we made a 20minute pit stop in Clinton,BC,had our gas refueled and we were ready to go. We drove through Ashcroft a small town that has a population of 3000 people,has one grocery and really small,she was like oh my you just blink your eyes and before you know it you are already entering a different town. passed through Williams Lake.We were heading towards Hwy BC-97 N towards Quesnel.Along the way it would rain,have sunshine streaks,see cloud cover.the weather was undecided.

We arrived in Quesnel around 130pm and we decided to have lunch at the Shark Club restaurant. this gave us all a chance to stretch and get some air.Since it was sunny we decided to have our lunch by the patio. Three of us had burgers and I had a Cajun blackened chicken burger with a house salad. The food at Shark Club is DELICIOUS and quite affordable. The waiter there was like dont be fooled by the sunny skies it just might start running anytime and we were like no that cant happen,but we were wrong it did start showering a bit. 45 minutes later we were ready to embark on our road trip.

Trip was going well,there was no time o get bored as we had music playing,were talking in the car ,taking pictures of the beautiful landscape and I was reading my John Grisham novel- The King Of Torts. We had a moment in Hixon when we were issued a speeding ticket and demerit points..hmmm he just dampened our spirits there and the cop was just trying to find something to pin on us but he was out of luck as we had our seat belts fastened.

Its 6:51pm and we are 201km away from Fort St John so far it has been a good drive with good company.Nothing can beat that really.We drove through Chetwynd instead of Prince George and it was our lucky day as there was no delay on our side.the road was winding,passing through rivers,native land. I'm really enjoying the road trip in the passenger seat,singing along to songs playing on the radio,taking pictures,having eats in the car.

 We arrived in Fort St John around 9pm,happy to have had a safe drive for approximately 15hours. Our host had already prepared dinner for us.
