Sunshine on My Shoulder Makes Me Happy




I am sitting in a campground on the shores of the Nisutlin river near Teslin Lake and it is a beautiful place and a gorgeous, sunny day. We left Watson Lake and continued driving north on the Alaska Highway. There were no animals out there for us to see today, but we did stop at Rancheria Falls Recreation Area and walked down to see the waterfalls and rapids. It was a nice break and Ziggy enjoyed getting to join us for the walk.

Our new campground has great views of the water and also has a wildlife center that I found very interesting. They have diaramas of many stuffed wild animals with good descriptions. One showcase featured a huge moose surrounded by three wolves and it was entitled The Last Morning. I also had a chance to just sit and relax in the warm sunshine. This is one of the best weather days we've had and I hope it continues.

Tonight our group is having a halibut dinner at the local restaurant. Tomorrow we head up to Whitehorse where we will spend thee days.
