I suppose these days don’t really count as a road trip. We’re in the Kispiox River Valley, about 17 miles north of Hazelton, BC. For the devoutly nerdy among you, 55° 27.17′ N, 127° 43.51′ W,
We’ve been staying with friends, having a wonderful and restful time. Clara has had a bit of a headache and I’m fighting off a cold. I had the additional joy the other night of breaking off a bit of tooth.
This is where the Kispiox, Skeena, and Bulkley Rivers meet and the junction of three valleys. It’s a rather pretty place, with mountains and rivers, and lots of history. There are two Gitxsan villages in the area and a vibrant Gitxsan development corporation. There is also a home where Emily Carr stayed for a while.
On a side note, in 1918, Carr tried to pay her rent one month by offering her landlady a painting instead. The landlady refused.
We are still here until tomorrow, when we head a bit further down the road to Prince George. I’m hoping we get a chance to take my nephew and neices out for dinner. Unfortunately, my brother and sister-in-law are out of town, but sometimes, my timing tends to suck and that’s that.
P.S. One of Brian and Pat’s cats, supposedly a bit shy, has the idea of relaxing before the next stage of the road trip well in hand…

How far south will you be traveling? If you are coming south of Kamloops, we”d love to see you! We’re 20 minutes north of Salmon Arm.
We’re going west, Nita, heading to a wedding in Grande Prairie. I have to head home right after that since I teach my first class on the 19th.
I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great.
I don’t know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you aren’t already ;
) Cheers!
