White Swan RV Park Fraser Lake, BC, Canada

Mileage:  48,685

As we travel east there is more farmland, more hay bales, more livestock.

There is less wilderness.  The towns are closer together and offer more services.  The prices of gas and groceries has come down considerably.  The longer we are up here the more it feels like fall.  The air is breezy and chilly and crisp.  All the more reason to keep heading south.

We decided to go to White Swan Park in Fraser Lake for lunch.  The park is pretty and sits right on the water.  There is free RV camping here so we decided to stay.

We had a pleasant afternoon spent reading and walking and resting and taking pictures of the ever-changing sky.  A quiet Sunday.

There was a noticeable smoky haze here.  The air quality was fine.

We rode into town and passed this fire camp.

We asked if the roads were open and they are.  The cashier at the grocery gave us a wildfire update.

According to the update, we are in the rescinded evacuation alert area.  There is a fire 6 km to the north…the Shovel Lake fire and then to the south…the Island Lake fire.  We are thinking of all the firefighters that are working to keep the fire from spreading.  They really need cooler temperatures and rain to help them with this seemingly unsurmountable task. There are more than 600 fires in British Columbia.  Some are small and managed…others large and requiring huge amounts of resources.

Smoke cross the water.

The mix of smoke and clouds did make for an incredible sunset.
