Civilization?

We knew we were in trouble when we saw the first sign for McDonald’s. We were back in civilization, and it was not a pretty sight.

Smithers, BC is a cute town. Our RV park was attached to a golf course. There were all kinds of services and food available. And it was one of the saddest days of my life.

We hadn’t realized just how much we had become accustomed to the wilderness and the beauty. And here we were back in civilization. And our trek was just about over. The good news is that I washed the RV (not that it needed it or anything) and removed about 9 weeks’ worth of bugs from the front.

Smithers is a small town by “civilized” standards, but it was enormous to us. Our trek was just about over.
