We got a later start only because we were travelling 130 miles to McBride, BC. Why such a short distance, you ask. Well, it's the weekend and I tried half the day yesterday to get a site closer to Jasper. No such luck. I must have called 10 campgrounds, all totally booked. Even the National Park was totally booked. So we settled for a short drive.
I was thankful to leave Prince George with all that smoke in the air. I don't know how they do it year after year. The further we got down the road the better it was. Unfortunately, we still couldn't see the mountains nor the sun . The smoke hadn't cleared that much.
We arrived at Beaverview RV Park, which is on the east side McBride. We got all checked in and set up. There was no one in the campground which was perfect. We had a large grass field right beside us which the dogs absolutely loved. It's the first bit of grass we've seen in a long, long time. They played and played until they couldn't run any longer. Charlie just fell over and laid there. She was exhausted, so was Calusa. They both crashed and burned once in the trailer.
As the day moved along, the smoke started getting really bad again. Not quite as bad as Prince George but bad. The campground also started filling up, so we called it a day. Went inside out of the smoke, relaxed and looked for another campground for tomorrow night. Our original plan was to stay in Jasper a couple of days but with all this smoke it would not be enjoyable. You can't see anything, do anything, or just sit outside and enjoy the outdoors.
