Travelling through the Prince George area, we again saw damage of caterpillars eating the poplar leaves south of town. Last year they seemed to be east of town. Otherwise the scenery has been fantastic, the many shades of green are endless. The rivers and lakes among the mountains, with little wind ever, has been great and the reflective scenes, endless. There are an unusual number of campers on the road already and the traffic everywhere, especially on the Yellowhead heading to the coast. There is only one road in and out between Prince George and Prince Rupert, so if nature decides to close the highway with a variety of options, folks will be closed off from the rest of the world for a while. Â West of Smithers there is one road going north, but who wants to head to Alaska?
There was snow on the mountain tops and the Coquihalla highway last week and the weather stayed cool. It is now warming up and the rivers will be rising again.
We enjoyed meeting more relatives for supper in Prince George Sunday and were so pleased because everyone is busy with their families and grad exercises have started. My grandson in Calgary, Eric Sandstrom, graduated with a class of 450 students May 25. His grandparents, Albert and Donna Lambert of Leduc, Alta., were pleased to be able to attend. Accompanying Donna on her return trip from Aunt Clare's service in North Battleford was Al's sister Mickey, who had been visiting in the Battlefords area.
