Surgery for the Saturn

Wednesday we stayed in Prince George, British Columbia.  Because we heard a loud whining sound in the Saturn, we started the day at a car dealership here.  They did a test drive and diagnosed the noise as a bad wheel bearing.  They ordered a part and will fix it tomorrow.  In the meantime we rented a car and did some sightseeing around here.
Above is a picture of the city from one of the high spots in town.  It's a very nice city of approximately 80,000 people.  We were lucky and found a very nice yarn shop.  Paige worries about running out of yarn for socks!  That won't happen anytime in the next couple of years, but it is nice to have a variety to choose from.

Next we went geocaching.  Bob found 4 different options fairly close to our campground.  Here is a picture of him going off into the woods to find one.  Paige stayed by the road and kept watch for bears.  Bob was unlucky today and didn't find a single one!
We ended our afternoon outing with a stop at Walmart for milk and then found a very nice ice cream shop for a good cone.  Since the day was so beautiful, we ended up on lawn chairs at the campground and read our Nooks.  A nice, quiet afternoon.

We plan on staying put for one more day as we don't know when our Saturn will be back on its wheels.  It will be a good day to do laundry and try to get rid of some of the dust in the motorhome.
