Day 26
Probably the best scenic drive of the trip so far. We headed through the north part of the Rockies. Lots of ups and downs but no issues with truck or trailer. Muncho Lake was probably the most picturesque; but the stop at Tetsa River for their famous cinnamon buns was the most enjoyable. We stopped at Summit Pass (4250 feet) the highest point on the Alaskan Hwy. The temp had dropped to about 14 C; but, with the wind it felt much colder; by the end of the day when we were lower it was back up to low twenties. Not only was the landscape breath-taking but the wild-life was amazing: on the road today we saw (and have pictures of) Stone Sheep, Caribou, Moose, Black Bear, and Bison.
We ended the drive when we reached the Liard River Hotsprings Provincial Park. It is a beautiful park with about 50 sites; it is booked solid every night; but we arrived early enough to get in. We all went down to the hotsprings for a dip; boy was it hot; but afterwards felt so relaxing. The campground had no electrical sites but that did not matter, we used the generator.
The days are getting longer, the nights are getting shorter and we still have further north to go; and each day we are reaching the furthest north we have ever been.
P.S. No internet, no cell service, just lots of peace and quiet; it is wonderful we are in the middle of nowhere in northern BC. This posting will occur the next time we have access...
