PRINCE RUPERT

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE CREEPY SIGN. WHEN I WENT BACK DOWN THE HIGHWAY TO TAKE A PICTURE OF IT I TOOK BAILEY WITH ME. PART WAY DOWN A MAN STARTED FOLLOWING ME DOWN THE ROAD...TO NO WHERE, WHEN WE GET ABOUT 75 FEET FROM THE SIGN BAILEY PUTS ON THE SKIDS AND WON'T GO ONE STEP FURTHER. I ZOOM IN ONE THE SIGN AND HEAD BACK AND HEAR SOMETHING IN THE BRUSH. BAILEY AND I BOTH WALK A LITTLE FASTER BACK TO THE MOTORHOME. THE MAN JUST KEEPS ON WALKING.

SO PRINCE RUPERT, NOT MUCH TO SAY ABOUT, IT'S A LITTLE FISHING COMMUNITY WHERE THE FERRIES COME AND GO BRINGING VEHICLES AND PASSINGERS ALONE THE MARINE HIGHWAY FROM ALASKA AND SEATTLE OR BRITISH COLUMBIA.

ROBERT TAKES BAILEY TO DO HER MORNING THING AND THESE DEER COME NOSE TO NOSE WITH HER AND THEN JUST CALMLEY WALK AWAY. HE COMES BACK AND FEEDS THEM CHEERIES. TOO COOL.

LATER ON AS WE ARE WALKING THROUGH THE TOWN WE COME UPON A GAMING CENTER. NOW THESE ARE KIND OF LIKE CASINOS BUT THEY ARE OWNED BY A GUY FROM PRINCE GEORGE AND THEY ARE ALL OVER BRITISH COLUMBIA. WE WIN A LITTLE AND THEN GO IN THE RESTAURANT TO HAVE A DRINK. THERE WE MEET A GUY FROM MEDFORD OREGON. HIS NAME IS JUSTIN JENNINGS. HE IS WAITING FOR THE FERRY TO TAKE HIM TO SITKA, ALASKA WHERE HE WILL BE STATIONED IN THE COAST GUARD. HE IS A DELIGHT TO TALK WITH. HE HAS BEEN IN ABOUT TWO YEARS AND PLANS ON MAKING A CAREER OUT OF IT. HE WILL TURN 20 NEXT MONTH. I THINK HE WILL DO FINE IN ALASKA. HE'S A "GOOD OLE BOY" FROM OREGON. LOVES TO HUNT AND FISH, AND LOVES HIS TRUCK. WHAT COULD BE BETTER. GOOD LUCK JUSTIN AND KEEP IN TOUCH.

WELL SHOOT, WE MISSED ROBERTS FRIENDS WHO WERE COMING DOWN THE CASSIER. HE IS QUITE DISAPPOINTED. WELL TIME TO TAKE OFF. WE WILL HEAD UP THE CASSIER HIGHWAY TODAY HEADED FOR WHITEHORSE.
