Good morning from Meziadin provincial park. We're just off
the Stewart Cassiar Highway and today we're going to continue
our journey into the abyss of the unknown. Little skeptical
about today because this is where things can get hairy very
quickly if we don't pay attention. But don't hang out
on the other side of the road while there's a flying turn. Oh
my oh my gosh and we're running off the road. The big needs
today are making sure we stay on top of fueling up because
the service stations are few and far between. I don't
want to stress you guys out more than what I'm feeling
stressed out about right now so we'll just kind of kick it off
gently into today. We'll just take it one mile at a time. You
know what I mean? By the way, y'all are looking way better
than I am this morning.
Good morning you beautiful people from Ney Ney. Really
quick we just discovered that the state park provincial park
that we stayed at last night does not have a dump station.
We are off to find a dump station and apparently there's
one right down the road. We'll see what happens. They charged
ten buckaroos and it's all the way at the end of the dirt road
there. It might be worth. Is there a water fill there too?
I'm not sure. I can ask on the back end. Kyle's going to find
out if we can also fill some water. You know ten bucks
really isn't that's pretty normal. So we're just used to
like it being included in the campground or state park with
the price but You know, you gotta do what you do out here
and this is like when you're taking to account your budget
for trips like this, you know, you're going to have expenses
that you're not used to. It's the way it is. Hopefully, we
can fill water too like not a lot but it'd be nice to be able
to take a shower tonight. We'll probably have electric tonight
but not full hookups. Okay. And buckaroos and we got a new one.
This is cool. Oh. And then look at this hawker. I don't want to
hold it. This whole thing. This little guy right here. I'll let
you hold that. I don't want to touch it. Alright, here's. I'll
take that. Thank you. Ooh. Like a this is like a bathroom pass
when you used to go to school. Yeah here. This is the bathroom
pass. Ours was on a two by four in high school. It was
humongous. It was like the hall pass. Can you back me up real
quick or should we just go around? I would just go around
but you want to watch these potholes. These craters. The
potholes are the size. Are they potholes worse? Oh. In America
or they worse in Canada? Uh I'm not going to comment on that
right now. Okay. What do they say in the interviews when they
ask them those like really personal questions? They're
like I'm not going to speculate on that right now. Yeah. I
guess I should say USA versus Canada. America is not the
right terminology and somebody's going to call me out
on that in the comments. So if you were about to type it in
the comments you can just backspace that right out. Keith
we're coming with the key. We got the key. I am not touching
that. Stop. We will get there eventually. We Rainy is walking
faster than we can drive right now. Bugs. They're bugging me.
For all y'all that are out there like man Hanks you can
clean your windows. I'm sorry. It is dirty out here. This is a
very desolate highway. We're in the wilderness. We're in the
Boonchilles buckaroo. Of Canada. Yeah. I don't know but
these potholes. These potholes though. Oh my gosh. Just too
early for these potholes. Give them the keys so he can get
started. Okay. Going to work babe. I'll be back in a little
bit. I don't know when I'll be home but I'll see you then.
He's got the key. Well, this is day three officially of the
Stuart Cassier Highway even though yesterday was our first
official day on Highway thirty-seven. So, one thing to
keep in mind, sorry for the loud truck noises. There's
logging trucks everywhere. Keep in mind that if you are at a
service station where you can fuel up, ask em if they have a
dump station because had we not asked them, we would've never
known. It's kind of like our journey from Prince George all
the way to Whitehorse. We're kind of exhaust but hey, that's
the RV travel life. We could be taking it slow. I understand
like why are we hustling? Well, we like to get post up
somewhere for a few days and get some work done especially
during the weekday. It's all the way in the back here way
back in the boontail lease. They give us that wonky key and
we had to pay ten bucks for it but hey, at least it offload
some of that weight before we take on and transverse some of
these crazy roads coming up. We've heard some horror stories
and from what we've seen already, it might well, it's
probably going to get worse. Keith is an insurance adjuster
and he has like needs to be somewhere where he can have
reliable internet and be able to answer Emails and do
everything he needs to do. We have to be able to edit and
content plan and film and produce and research for you
guys but we love it but it's better that we're somewhere
where we can get this stuff done and then after we're in
Whitehorse for a few days, we will continue the journey and
finally be in Alaska. Oh, look at that. It's our time to dump.
Let's go. Let's let it rip. Our thought is like, let's just
take the next days to travel through the weekend and get
just kind of like ripping the band aid off like we have to
get there and we might as well just do a bunch of travel days
in a row. It's not the way you have to do it, it's just the
way we're deciding to do it. You know what I'm really
nervous about is my nail filer. I broke a nail. Don't judge me.
You know what I'm really nervous about is all the Emails
and research I see about the road from Destruction Bay.
Maybe there's worse roads to come up ahead today. I'll keep
you guys informed.
It's so so messy. Turn to the left. Look out the window.
That is not. That is sketch. The sky is asking for a death
wish for sure. Oh my goodness. I feel like we could've just
witnessed like a crazy accident in front of us and it could've
influence like it could've happened to Keith and Rainey.
They would have been part of it. What's it called? Included
in it. Oh my gosh. Hey, listen. I know that this Cassier
Highway is desolate. There's not many people on it. If
you're anything like us in RV life, take your time don't put
yourself at jeopardy or other people like this and try to
pass people on blind turns. It's just not worth it. Now,
you're allowed to pass people on this highway and it's
kind of like anything goes but please be smart about it like
they passed us fine then get over like there was plenty of
room for you to get over. But don't hang out on the other
side of the road while there's a blind turn. Cuz being like is
someone coming? Yes, no. Cuz the speed at which somebody
else is coming in that opposite lane like it's so much quicker
than you think like. Be smart guys. It's double the speed of
what you're going now and I know you guys know this but
like on the ambulance telling us over right here. One of the
witnesses we're the first of the scene and we're telling you
a lot of bad stuff can happen on the road so. Goes head on
close. I don't want to play that card but we're playing
that card of yeah just be smarter. Sections like this
where you can see. Yeah this is great. You have time to pass.
Safely. Oh my oh my gosh and we're running off the road. Oh
my god. That's not her. She just got out of her mind.
You're not going that slow. I just think I don't know. People
are very impatient and they're going to cause an accident.
They want to get to Alaska. Look at. Hey, babe. I got some
good news for us. We got 17 minutes until we have 3 hours
left. This reminds me of when I was in school, you would have a
40-minute class and it was like so boring or you're like, I
don't know. They obviously, I didn't pay attention in school,
it shows because I can't pronounce anything. You would
sit there and do that math where you're like, alright. We
got 5 minutes and then if you do eight of these, class will
be over instead of paying attention. Well, we can we have
cash if we need to use cash and we can but I would just try to
use the card for sure. Diesel is only on one side here. Uh
huh. To our left here, we have the entire town of. Is cut. Is
cut. Is cut. It's cut. It's all good. It's cut. One building,
one town. I wonder what the popular. And guess what?
Potholes. Yeah. I don't care how big the truck stop is. If
there ain't potholes, it ain't a truck stop. Well said, Nae.
Yeah, I'm going to put that on a T shirt thing. I like that.
Yeah. Overall, I feel like those drives going pretty good
today. Just we're getting it done. We're living it. It's so
cool. I was so nervous getting out here. See people like, be
careful out there and I'm glad they said be careful because
you do need to be aware but. Yes. It's we're getting it
done, Nae Nae. Well said, Carl. I think you nailed it. Thank
you. Imma take a nap. You know what? I know you're sleeping.
Let me just say Do you have I got. Is it cash only? Over a
half. Oh I see. Okay. We may not want to do much. It's over
$2 a liter. The next town's a little bit bigger I think.
Deese Lake. Yeah. We're at four 0 6 kilometers here and that's
at four eighty-eight. So like 70 kilometers. I just want to
be I I have to say it. We were we're becoming those people.
We're like if we ever pass up diesel don't do it. We're doing
it. But hey. I know but As a leader, we'll talk about it
when we break down the side of the road. We'll have a long
discussion. We'll be like, hey, how about that diesel? I got a
can. It'll get you there. Alright. Look at us. We're like
ain't nothing but a thing. Let's keep going. Uh we only
have a 32 gallon diesel tank. Yeah. And we've been getting by
just fine and it's nice. When we fuel up, our fuel range at
full is like over 400 kilometers. Rest area to west
with toilets, picnic tables, litter bins, map, and distance
chart, panoramic views of Skeena and Cassier Mountains.
From here southbound, the dormant volcano of Mount Edzia,
Edzi ah. Oh my god. Bro, stay on your side. Well, we just
finished the stretch of Gravel Road that's on the Cassier
Highway. I looked all over the internet to see which stretch
of road it is and I did find it online but it was very hard to
find. So, if you're also looking for it, I'm going to
tell you where it is. It's right before Sitkin River
Bridge. Very strange that there was gravel but. Why do you
think they have that? I have no idea. The only thing I could
think of is maybe in the winter, it provides more
traction and snow like maybe snow doesn't it's not as
slippery I don't know. Someone needs to answer that in the
comments. Also, I don't know how for much further we have
because stupid Nae Nae closed out her apps which closed out
my GPS and we haven't had service in a long time. So,
when you set your maps for the day and you're driving this
road, don't close your apps out because you will lose your GPS.
Learn from our mistakes.
So, we talked to this really really nice couple that we met
at the breast stop here. They're actually going
southbound. They said Boya Lake Provincial Park is full. Uh
they said there are sites available but they're for
smaller rigs. We pulled into this gorgeous breast area and
honestly, we're like, we should just stay here. It's really
nice. It does say on the sign, please limit your stay to 8
hours. Technically, we'd be over eight hours and we need
water still. So, there's a lot going on but I think I have a
solution. Brought our brains together and we decided, let's
take a let's let the animals out of the crates and have
dinner we can have dinner we can take like a good half hour
to an hour break and then we'll keep going because honestly in
the evenings we're also tired that we don't really do much
anyway we just kind of like plop our self down in a chair
so why not just plop our self back down in the trucks and
just keep going now that I think of it there is an area
called Jade City up ahead and we might be able to fill up
water there it's an adventure always and we like taking you
guys along for it let's get dinner. Are you excited to be
taking another break? You think we're done for the day but
we're not. Yeah. How's it going in here? I kind of updated on
what's going on. Oh. Uh just put dinner on everyone. So,
y'all hungry? Got some gourmet Costco leftovers, canned ducks.
No, not the. I'm looking for easy tonight so. Okay. What?
What? What? You are, you're in trouble. I see what's going on
there. What? Is this what happens when you put the
husbands in charge of dinner? I don't know what the problem is.
We're going to have full bellies here in a minute. This
is what RV Life's all about baby. With half the slides out.
Next to a river. I mean here let's open up this let's give
you some views while you're cooking. Dexter look how
gorgeous. Oh look at those views. I wish I was just
telling them that we wanted to camp here but that sign says
no. The next adventure is water and a place to park. But you
know what? It's going to be more of an adventure than going
to the state park here. Because we're going to we're going to
see show people what are their options when the state park is
full. What would Carl do? First of all, I would eat my feelings
away. Second of all, just figure it out. That's what we
always do. That's amazing. Hmm. You know what else is amazing?
Let me just whip this up real quick. You just all. It's
fresh. We could go sit by the river.
We found water. So, you just walked in and said, can I have
water and he's like, sure. Oh, around the back. Just. They're
so friendly here. They're just like, yes, have water and not
only that, it's pure glacier water. It's better than Dasani.
Mwah. That was a bit of a fiasco just to get water but.
It is never a quick stop for anything in the RV life ever.
But it never hurts to ask because like the more I'm
realizing just take the time and go in and ask if they have
these services available. So we're just good till we gotta
pull over for bedtime. I love that. The driving in the
evening and you can do it up here because there's places to
boom dock and it's going to be light out till probably ten
thirty.
Well, we finally finally made it. What a day. Was supposed to
be a six-hour driving day. Ended up being almost 12
altogether with stops and everything. We made it to Blue
Lakes. Guess what time it is? It is 15 minutes til ten at
night. 10 at night. Almost ten at night and the sun is still
that high. So, it's going to get crazier as we go up north.
Hey, these roadsides, they work great. Pull off, safe. Got
other campers here feeling in good company. Listen, if you
haven't our other videos. Go check them out starting with
these two right here. We'll see you guys next week. Love you
all.
