08/29 – 08/30/19 Towards the end of the Cassier Hwy we came across the town of Gitwangak or Kitwanga on the Map. It is the home of some of the oldest Totem Poles in Canada. These amazing carvings represent the different indigenous clans. We also stopped at a place called battle hill where Chief Nekt built a fortified village on top of this hill and would defend it by rolling spiked logs down on his enemies. We climbed the hill and were amazed at how many people were said to have lived in this village a the top of the hill as it did not seem that large. We drove on and finally made it to the end of the Cassier Hwy and found our way to a beautiful free campspot at Twin Falls Recreation Site outside of Smithers BC. This little area had beautiful trails and 4 level campsites with fire rings. We thought of our little caravan and how much Jim, Jackie, & Bob would have loved this site. We hiked up to the overlook of the falls and enjoyed a wonderful Scallop dinner cooked on the coals of the fire.
