The High Rollers!
Another long drive yesterday (31st May) from Smithers down to Quesnel. But despite having to endure a number of roadworks along the way, the trip wasn't entirely without interest for us. Notable sightings included a couple of Black Bears, a Moose and we were lucky enough to capture this Silver Fox on camera:

Weather was overcast all day and we had to drive through several heavy showers. However, we found our overnight accommodation in short order once we had arived in Quesnel. It's pretty easy to see from a distance as it looks like a paddle steamer:

Someone with a sense of humour decided to paint the water hydrant to look like the proprietor:

Anyway, being a casino as well as a Hotel, after our dinner (a lovelly Pizza from Panago's) we decided the only thing to do would be to go and 'break the bank'! So, armed with a good amount of optimism and our 10 dollars (that's about £5.50), we proceeded to spend the next two hours at the Roulette table slowly but surely betting our dollars away 25 cents at a time. I don't know what the management (and other guests) thought of it all? No doubt some of our friends would find it hugely embarrasing. But this trip is on a tight budget and anyway, they probably just put it down to us being English Eccentrics.
