End of Day 2 - Near Burns Lake

Day 2 ended with a great little campsite at the Beaver Point Resort which is 10 miles down a country road outside of Burns Lake, BC. We were looking for a campground with WIFI, a shower, and camping. A local pointed us down the road about 3 miles which turned out to be 10 miles. But it's a fabulous location with no road noise.

The day started with a departure from Cache Creek at 7:40am and we put on some 440 miles through a number of construction sites. We took lunch at a fish & chips place (Wee Chippees) in Quesnel. We all had the haddock special which was very good.

After lunch the ride for the rest of the day was very warm again with tempertures hitting about 84f. Outside of Prince George we saw our first MOOSE sign and stopped for a Kodak moment. About 60 or so miles from our final destination we stopped at Frazier Lake for a dinner at Subway. We met some Alberta riders who were heading for HYDERSEEK.

Tomorrow, we have only less than 300 miles. We are projecting a 6am departure so we have time for lot of picture taking.

Critter Spottings: One Eagle; total spottings so far this trip = 3

BTW, the sun is still up high in the sky at 8:20pm as I post this. And the 4 Geeks are all on their computers and WIFI fighting very thick mosquitos.
