Day 64, Saturday, September 9, 2006
45 this morning in Fraser Lake and still clear. Life is Good!
Left camp very early, for us, around 8:30 am. Had planned the next stop at an RV resort that advertised cable t.v., high-speed internet, etc. We wanted to watch the Notre Dame game so wanted to stop by noon or 12:30 at the latest (kick-off time). Well we made it in time but no cable or internet in the r v park. They had cable in the motel and a slow internet connection in the rooms as well, but nothing for us poor people in R.V.’s.
We moved on to Lac la Hache south of Prince George on highway 97. Close enough to to the lower 48 to try my DirecTV dish. Hey! Got a satellite signal on the first try. Going to get the game after all. Not! In order to re-activate my account with DirecTV I have to call them, right? Well, they have blocked the use of their 800 number from Canada. I tried calling from the pay phone, called the operator, called Verizon, called brother Tim, tried on-line, called every DirecTV 800 number I could find (7 of them) and nothing could get me in touch with them. No DirecTV and no football game this week.
Built a fire for the evenings entertainment and went to bed early.
By the way, it rained today after we got on the road.
