Hall of the Mountain King

It was a little easier getting up this morning and the coffee service was over around 8am. Jeff washed the RV (although it gets dirty right away) and we drove into the tiny town of Fort Nelson for gas and groceries. Then we pointed north and began the day’s drive.

Again the highway was pleasant with gorgeous scenery and little traffic. We stopped for cinnamon buns and then for lunch at cute lodges along the way. We could see the Rocky Mountains to our west most of the way. In the Stone Mountain area we were lucky to see several stone sheep, a species that only lives in this area. We saw one adult male with huge curved horns in a cave high above the roadway. A short way down the road two caribou (reindeer) were standing in the road and showing off their fuzzy antlers. We also saw some deer so the day was a great success.

Tonight we helped to stage a wine & cheese party for our group. It was fun standing around and meeting new people. Later we walked along the shore of Muncho Lake where our campground, Northern Rockies Lodge, is situated. Another great day!
