Saying for the day: A day is a span of time no one is wealthy enough to waste.
We're on Hwy 97 now, AKA "The Gold Rush Trail." This entire area's economy is all based on wood products. Paper Mills, lumber mills, and pulp plants are everywhere.
Passing a lot of llamas in a field; they're still losing their winter coats.
Our RV Park tonight is very quiet and woodsy. It's looking like we're going to have rain soon. We'll take a walk around, regardless.
Cache Creek is an historic transportation junction, 354 kilometers NE of Vancouver in B.C., Canada. It's on the Trans-Canada Hwy in the province of B.C. at a junction with Hwy. 97.

Saying for the day: How beautiful it is to stay silent when someone expects you to be enraged.
This is our last day in Canada! We will cross the border tomorrow and will be again into the "lower 48." We have to say, the Canadian people, everywhere we went, were warm and gracious hosts of their respective Provinces. Hats off to some wonderful folks!
It's a beautiful day for a walk and then a ride around Cache Creek.
Around town we found a lovely Farmer's Market with lots of good veggies, breads, pies and sooo many gorgeous hanging flower pots. They're absolutely beyond beautiful. They also had a sandwich bar and would make all kinds of sandwiches, with their home baked bread, of course. All of the pies were homemade : blueberry/ peach, apple/cherry, multi berry, strawberry/rhubarb and raspberry. We had to buy a raspberry pie. This Farmer's Market looks more like a ranch in the old West than a Market. But it's very well attended. See pics.
The topography of this area is reminiscent of the Old West with tumbleweeds and gravelly dirt hills.
We've enjoyed this little town but we're chomping at the bit to see the USA again. We were in Alaska exactly one month and in Canada for 3 weeks but it's hard to feel like we're in the US in Alaska, everything is so different from how things are in the lower states.
How long staying: 1 more night
Where to next: River Bend RV in Mt. Vernon WA, USA
