Headed for Bella Coola
I'm finally going to hit the road tomorrow! I managed to pull some back muscles in a pretty serious way and have been waiting for them to heal, but they're taking too long, so I'm just going to go anyway as time's a wastin'. Since I tent/car camp, I may have to get a few motel rooms, but so be it.
I was going to Alaska (went last summer, it was great), but now I think I want to go see the Great Bear Rainforest and Bella Coola. I'll drive from Colorado - have been to Williams Lake where you turn off to Bella Coola, so some of it's familiar country, but the road on across the Chilcotin is all new.
I'll have three dogs with me, all good travelers who go all over with me. I may take the ferry back to Port Hardy or even on up to Alaska, but knowing my concern for the dogs over being pent up too long, I'll probably drive instead of taking a ferry.
Anyway, any words of encouragement and/or sage advice or travel tips would be greatly appreciated. Have been reading Explore North's blog about his trip there, so have an idea of what's what. Thanks in advance.
