More from the Landvaters!!! Scroll down for all the stories and hit "older posts" to get to the last page too....Stop #11 Aug 5-6
On the road again, going to Prince Rupert, stopped in Terrace for lunch and then down to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The drive to Prince Rupert was very scenic, we drove along side the river with mountain passes, glaciers and very high waterfalls, with a very wide bed, saw an eagle perched on a rock. Stopped at an overlook and saw River of the Mists, islands with fog or mists floating above it, the temperature had dropped 10-12 degrees while coming through the mountain passes before getting to the harbor. Right before entering Prince Rupert, there was trees filled with shoes, very comical, next we saw two big cruise ships in port. Went back into town, with one cruise ship left, went through the shops, very nice tourist town.
Went to eat lunch at Mollie's, great seafood meal and then back to the North Pacific Cannery. Built in 1889, the North Pacific Historic Fishing Village is a National Historic Site. It is the most complete cannery that reamins of these remote villages that once dotted the West Coast. Most of the day was spent packing for our trip up the inside passage to Juneau and Sitka, which we leave tomorrow morning at 6 am. by ferry. We will be gone for 8 days, leaving our vehicles at the campground in Prince Rupert
