The GPS says we are travelling on the Yellowhead Highway. It’s an east/west route that runs from Manitoba to BC and provides a more northernly Canada crossing than Highway 1 - TransCanada. The highway is named after a fur trader and explorer named Pierre Bostonais. He had yellow streaks in his hair, and was nicknamed "Tête Jaune" (Yellowhead).

The drive along 97 was good on our flat lander eyes, but in hind sight not the most exciting part of the trip. Lots of construction in Prince George and they are repairing a section of road overlooking the river, which was cut out of a cliff, so it’s a long way down if the rider lost concentration and veered off the road.
Mindful of the comfort provided by Mike’s high tech, small, light weight Helinox chair, Jeff and Cipi are off to Walmart to pick up a $15 special folding camp chair - can’t do a camp fire without proper chairs.
