Another Slow Day

Another slow day on the road, We reached Quesnel and found the Pinnacles Provincial Park where there are hoodoos. After traveling up a steep hill for about ten minutes, we reached a very small parking lot. I then walked about a half mile up a trail to the cliff edge to see the formations. Fortunately for me, the cliff side was fenced so I could lean over it to take picturres without fear of falling over the edge. Unfortunately, most of the view was obstructed by trees and bushes. Then it was one half mile back to the parking lot. Along the way I thought about bears, but decided no warning signs were posted so I was perfectly safe. As we were going back down the road and almost back to town, a young black bear knocked over someone's garbage can and ran across their lawn into the woods carrying their bag of trash.
We ended up in Cache Creek for the night as a bad storm was coming into the area. It seems that all the campgrounds we have been in are just parking slots, some are a foot or two wider than others, and all are without any spare space.
