What an interesting morning. I woke up and took a look outside my tent, a calm little lake greeted me. I proceeded to make some breakfast and start packing up my tent, as I was doing this the owner of the park came up and said hello. I payed her what I owed her and we started chatting a little bit, she mentioned that the campground was supposed to be fully filled up but due to a few no shows I was able to get in, funny enough she was so tired on the phone when she answered it the night before that she had completely forgot about me and it was her husband that reminded her.
I finished my packing and got back on the road heading north towards Prince George, I felt different though, I felt lighter, like a weight had been lifted off me and the hunger to explore and embrace new adventures grew deeper, stronger and more emotional.
I arrived in Prince George pretty quickly and decided I’d find a good off leash dog park to take Winnie to, she was happy to stretch her legs. Sometimes you gotta just stop and smell the flowers, all the dew on her nose was testament to just how much smelling she did!
Sometimes it truly feels like a small world. There I was sitting in my car after Winnie’s walk looking at maps figuring out what I wanted to do next when a woman comes up to the window, “Are you Jonathan Melnick, and is that Winnie?” she says. Turns out it was the Jenn’s sister Aleisha’s cousin who I had seen at a wedding a few months ago, what are the chances?! We chatted a bit while the dogs played about before saying our goodbyes as I headed off to another campground.
I arrived in Salmon Valley Campground around 4:30 pm and decided I would take it easy for the rest of the day, focusing primarily on getting this blog up and running. Well, mission success! Hopefully now I can get these stories out faster for those who would be eager to hear them, and just like that day four comes to a close, goodnight!
What are the odds that you and Tamera would meet up at Moore’s Meadow in Prince George. Love the pictures. Enjoy your travels.
