Left this morning after having a quick breakfast with food purchased last night at the small grocery store. Headed south on the next leg of the Cassiar Highway along side towering mountain peaks, thick forests, and the occasional glacier in the higher mountain valleys.
With the good also comes the not as good, in this case it was the occasional patch of gravel or dirt, anywhere from ten feet to a half mile that would sneak up on you quickly at 65 or 70. Overall the road was great with the frost heaves evened out with gravel and warning flags.
Pulled into Smithers and they are in the middle of a heat wave like much of the west temps were in the 80's, how do people function in this heat?
We can now add the Cassiar highway to the roads we have taken and to our ever expanding repertoire of great memories.

Sounds like an overall great trip so far. Looking forward to more stories behind some of those photos when you get back.
Jeff,
We may have to put a time restriction on the "sharing" at Sunday brunch, otherwise your dad will talk for hours...maybe just put Presley in charge!!
Yes, a few bad sections, also some very good, fresher asphalt the further south. I rode the Cassiar south a week prior to you guys but was in rain and 53F most of the way! Hardly another vehicle around, but a few bears.
