Waiting for the pilot car, a common occurrence in northern climates when all roadwork is done in the summer.

Stopped in at Historic Hat Creek, site of a ranch & roadhouse along the original Caribou Wagon Road. The busiest era was 1885-1905. There are many buildings to explore, remaining as they were in 1901. This covered wagon is a current accommodation.

We are in Cache Creek BC about 170 miles north of the border. This Tesla is charging in a parking lot with 6 Tesla Superchargers & 2 other slow chargers for any electric vehicles. Fascinating conversation with the owner.
Love the Prius!!
