Wednesday 8/28/13 Smithers B.C.

Well, here we are in Smithers the next to the last stop on our caravan. Tomorrow we're off to Prince George B.C. This is where the caravan ends. Friday morning we head toward the US. We are planning on spending the night in Vernon B.C. then cross the border on Saturday. Just fyi,this morning the gremlins struck again. We had a stabilizing jack which decided it wasn't going to go up. So two hours later we finally got it to go up and headed to Smithers. Also,our tail gunner, Stu, developed a leak in his coaches radiator. Most likely a rock from the darn road under construction going into Stewart. The excitement was watching his coach go onto a flatbed hauler. What a sight. It had to be towed about five hours away for service. The cost of the tow was $2200.00. Thank goodness for insurance. At last message Stu will be at the Freightliner chassis shop for about 10 to 14 days. We tried our jacks again at the Smithers campground and guess what, the rear one still doesn't work. We will have to force it up in the morning and not use any of the jacks on the trip home. The coach will be moving as we do inside without the stabilizing jacks. We will put that on our list to get fixed when we get back home.
