Thursday was for a day trip down to Kitimat, which was only about 40 km from the campground so a lot shorter trip than Prince Rupert. We were MUCH more impressed than the day before, and Wendy and I can see ourselves coming back for a few weeks or so some future summer. One of the great things about Kitimat is the Giant Spruce Park area, which is right along the river just below the bridge. There's a free boondocking area there, with all the comforts of BLM land plus a river with salmon just outside your door... I'm not sure it gets much better than that.
After a quick tour of town, lunch at the local DQ, and a few groceries we headed back to the campsite. Wendy and Fuzzy headed for the beach while I grabbed my tackle and headed back down the road to practice a little fly throwing. I managed to catch one, too small to keep, and get a few more bites so I was happy, and the others had a great afternoon at the beach.
