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 any...

I didn't mean to put anyone off from going, eh. The drive from Williams Lake to Bella Coola is a historic one. Now that it's paved you can do it in one day..but why do that. Riske Creek, and Anahiem and all the ranches and lake in between are to be seen and enjoyed. If you are alone? And should you see an older looking FN guy hitching? maybe offer him a ride. I would, but that's me..not a younger...the young ones have too many gang associations. A person does need to know not to leave your vehicle for an extended length of time, unattended. There have been more than enough reports..and not hearsay..of vehicles being vandalized. The younger FN crowd...some don't play nice. That is just a sad fact of life up there.
Yeah...mosquitoes and black flies. Living up north until just recently, I did find and use a great homemade bug repellent. A sealer filled with Apple Cider vinegar and a nice fat handful of fresh spinach. Crush the spinach in your hands to get all bruised and such...let it sit in the fridge overnight. Buy a plastic garden spray bottle? and liberally spray it about yourself. Yes, you can smell the cider vinegar for a few minutes till it dries...then no smell and it sure worked for me. Mind you...always carry some of the heavy duty OFF, just in case...but that stuff is pretty harsh.
