Take My Breath Away

















Wow - a few days on the road and so many memories. We left Dawson Creek and headed north to Fort Nelson, BC. The scenery is awesome and every twist and turn brings a new vista to admire. Still rainy, but that doesn't diminish the beauty. Not many animals, except for a few moose and deer. Stayed overnight in Fort Nelson and we stayed in and rested. Each morning we get up at 5:30 am and send off the guests starting at 6 am. Our job is to make coffee and set it out along with sign out sheets so we know when everyone leaves the campground. When they are gone, we clean up and leave and stay at the back of the pack all day. If we see a member of our group we stop, enter it on a log and keep behind them. Along the way we sightsee and do whatever. Day three we traveled to Liard Hot Springs. We love this place as it is magical with refreshing natural springs and beautiful flora. Ferns and wildflowers line the wooden path to the spring. We soaked and enjoyed the hot water and then went back to relax and have dinner. More animals near the road. At Stone Mountain we saw a family of sheep, a few bears, moose and deer. It is so exciting. Photo #1 is the Cinnamon Bun Center of the Galactic Cluster. No kidding, that's what the sign says. We shared a bun as we have on our two previous trips and it is worth the drive. They also have delicious molasses bread which I am enjoying toasted. Photo #2 are bison, part of a large herd, walking near our campground in Liard. Photo #3 - a black bear saying, "I'm ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille." Photo #4 is Jeff, Ziggy and me entering the Yukon Territory.
