| We saw lots of ferry landings on this leg of the trip |
The sun is trying to shine this morning. Made grilled cheese for bfast, and off at 8:10, heading south (of course - there is no road north from here). Mixed driving and 2 short ferry crossings back to Vancouver. Along the way we saw more eagles, one flying with a fish in its claws. The ferry area near Gibson (where Beachcombers was filmed) looked invitingly touristy, but we didn’t stop. We just went to the ferry and fixed lunch in the parking lot.
We’re disappointed with this part of the trip. No views to speak of, little public waterfront access. Most of the shoreline is private cottages. Not much for the traveller, except some shops in Gibson.
Now our goal is to get thru Vancouver before rush hour, as this last ferry lands in Vancouver about 1:15. We did get to Hope - well east of Vancouver - about 3. Good time to stop for some groceries, as the road north is closed for construction (blasting) until 4:30.
We camped at a small campground between Lytton and Spence’s Bridge, right on the Fraser canyon. After supper we went for a walk and saw 8 mountain sheep on the slope across the river canyon from us. Also saw Cedar Waxwing, and some unknown bird - yellow breasted with an orange head, and red on the head as well. Black and white wings, about the size of the Waxwing. Saw lots more bald eagles soaring on the way here. Mild tonight, about 18C.
