Day 60. Evening. Smithers, BC

We’ve returned to civilization, a mixed blessing. Riverside Golf and RV Park is our home for 2 nights. What would one call the citizens of Smithers? I like Smithereens even though it’s incorrect cuz the second ‘s’ is missing. What are smithereens anyway? Anybody ever looked it up? I just did: fragmented parts or broken pieces - could have guessed that. Anyway, guess the locals are Smitherseens or Smithersites or Smithersanians.

Groceries here are reasonable and selected fresh seafood items are great buys. That does not include beer: $14.35 for a 6-pack of anything drinkable, $12.35 for mass produced swill like Bud Light. Forget it. We’ll wait until we’re back in the States in 4 days.

We’re playing golf tomorrow, first time in 6 weeks, so it’ll be ugly but what the hell. Burn the score cards and tell big whopping lies about birdies and eagles and holes-in-one, oh my. It’ll be our first ever golf in BC for what that’s worth.

We were going to loll around BC for a week but have business to attend to and it’s best done in the US. So we'll beat feet southward come Sunday and arrive in the US Monday night.
