It seems like it has taken an inordinate amount of time to cross from Texas into Canada this year. We crossed into Canada from Oroville, Washington. This section of Canada is full of orchards. We stopped by a fruit stand to buy cherries and apricots before heading to Green Lake for camping.
In Williams Lake, we purchased our first Canadian fishing licenses. We had our eyes set on catching lake trout… a first for us. We planned to drive up the Cassiar Highway, stopping by our favorite Kanaskin Lake as well as several others before meeting Morgan and family in Whitehorse on August 9th.
We camped at Ten Mile Lake but got in too late to blow up Calypso, our little three-man boat. We planned to stop early the next evening, but ended up at Sealy Lake. While the lake was described as being secluded and easily accessible by boat, the campground sat 20 yards from the roadway, and the launch site was too far to portage the boat. So we waited another day.
The crazy part about it all was how hot it was. It reached into the mid-90s during the day. We had never seen temperatures this high, particularly for this long a duration, in Canada. Every person we spoke with complained about the weather. Thankfully the temperatures dropped into the low 60s at night, making sleeping comfortable.
We decided to push on. Surely we would find a place to fish!
