We headed into British Columbia with beautiful weather. The leaves lined the roads like gold. It is offically fall up in the mountains here!
We stopped first at "Jade City", where they advertised free coffee, which lured us in. We learned that 90% of the worlds Jade is mined in the Cassier mountains. Then we stopped at a campsite along the cassier highway. Martin had high hopes of hiking a trail into the mountains, but unfortunately, the trail was unmaintained and a bridge had broken down. but our campsite was idea, set next to a beautiful lake, with a rainbow that lasted an hour! We've only paid for camping a couple times so far - its been nice to save some money in that way.

The next morning we got up and started driving to Smithers, BC. On our drive we saw numerous black bear and our second wild horse! We were able to find a campsite in Smithers right in town. Smithers is a quaint ski town with a lot of character. We went out for a drink and were able to meet the manager of the ski restort. It seems like everyone that lives here, loves this town. Today, we had planned to go for a hike to the glacier, outside of Smithers, but unfortunately it is raining, so we are spending the day doing stuff around town and plan to make our way to Prince George by the evening.
