This morning when we woke up, it was so cold in the forest and we had no heating in our van. So we headed off without breakfast and drove to the town on Prince George, about an hour away.

On the way we saw a black bear. Mike slowed down but it gave the bear a fright and it ran and started climbing a tree. It was cool to see it climbing the tree but I felt bad that we’d scared it.

In Prince George we stopped at a cafe for coffee, breakfast, and to get a video uploaded.

Then we visited Walmart and caught up on shopping.

Then we visited the laundromat and it cost us $80 to do laundry! This is because we both managed to lock our keys in the car. The nice lady at the laundromat called a tow company for us and we only had to wait 15mins.

The lady from the tow company arrived armed with a special tool her boss had made for unlocking our particular van. Apparently they are tricky! By the time she got it, unlocked our washing had finished so no time wasted.

We left Prince George and on the way we encountered a heavy rainstorm on the highway. And then our wipers packed up yet again! It was only a 15 min drive to the next town, so we pulled into an auto mechanic and he helped us fix it. Another grommet had gone. Thankfully we had a spare.

We stopped in the town of Vanderhoof for the night, with power as we’re soft.
