Dining recommendations, activities near Prince George
 
My husband has basically tricked me into spending a week at the cabin of one of his friend's that is about a hour north of Prince George (the reward is that then we get to spend 4 days at Chateau Lake Louise which is one of my favorite places anywhere). Now the question: I am basically going to have to do all the cooking (not my idea of a vacation but I wasn't consulted). Are there any decent to pretty good places to eat in this area? Also is there anything to do besides fishing? I know it's really in the middle of no where so don't expect much. I did see a historical park on the map which we will check out.

Unfortunately there is no 'dining' in Prince George at least as understood in the wider world.<BR><BR>There is however a branch of the Earls' chain-decent enough family fare.<BR><BR>As to other activities in Prince George-known to locals as 'The Pig'-there are only those found in rude bush towns.<BR><BR>http://www.pgevents.com/ might be of some help-I suggest you take a good book and a large supply of mosquito repellent.<BR><BR>

Thanks, Sam. As expected, especially the mosquito repellant part!

There are some very decent places to dine in PG. I should know I actually live here. Ric's Grill has excellent food.......so does Winston's at the Inn of the North....The Log House Restaurant at Tabor Lake - to name a few! We do have other things here than mosquitoes!

Thanks--I will take this list and make my husband take us out to dinner at least a few times.

Ah Yes-The Inn of The North!

Well I remember that place-I've been in a few places rougher but never in one where people were so drunk they danced on the tables before 7pm.

People in 'The Pig' &quot;like to get an early start&quot; so the bouncer told me.

I just have to reply to &quot;Sam&quot;....Prince George is not &quot;The Pig&quot;.....it has been years since there has been a place to dance at the Inn of the North and it is not a land of drunks and mosquitoes!!!

Note that I said &quot;they danced 'on' the tables before 7pm&quot;-this was in the bar.

One delightful facet of life in places like PG is the ability of the denizens to entertain/disport themselves so spontaneously.;)
