Kitwanga to McBride following the Yellowhead Highway

Not quite as far as yesterday but certainly made better time. My first stop was for gas and coffee at New H---. After that I just kept driving because there was nothing but farms and logging areas between the small towns.
I stopped once at a rest stop to stretch and check the map for place of interest. Finding none I just kept going to Prince George where I had a late lunch; around 3:30ish. Before lunch though I stopped for gas and ran into Home Depot to have a spare key made for the car. See yesterdays log to know how I learned my lesson.
After navigating my way out of Prince George, not well marked, I just kept driving until I reached McBride. Today’s animals included 2 young deer of some type, a buck (reminded me of the one I ran into last summer) and a coyote or big fox. Not sure what lives up here but my first thought was coyote at the distance I saw it at.
