Prince Rupert


The campground at Lakelse Lake is amongst the big Cedars and Sitka Spruce, so if you're looking for a shady spot with a beach and you don't mind paying $25 for an unserviced site it's great. During the week the campground wasn't too crowded so they gave us a spot right on the beach loop as long as we promised to vacate by Friday when it was reserved. Come Friday morning we were more than happy to leave as the weekend crowd had started to arrive. Most of you will know what that means.


Anyway, we made Wednesday the day to dash out to Prince Rupert to see what that was all about. Interesting drive and the weather was good but we were not knocked off our feet by the destination. Maybe it we were headed for a charter booking it would have been a little different but just to do the tourist thing I don't think I'd do it again.




We made a detour to Port Edward on the way back, and went out to see the North Pacific Cannery museum. Quite interesting, if you're out this way and have a spare couple hours it's worth the browse.
