We left the Tetsa River RV park at 8:42 and continued our journey with the goal to end our day in the Yukon Territory. We began the day with the rolling mountains & thick forests, made our way through the end of the Northern Rockies, and ended with rolling mountains once again. The Northern Rockies portion had really rugged mountains and peaks. In that area we got to see Stone Sheep mamas and their babies. The scenery changed back to rolling mountains and forests and that's where we got to see a herd of bison pretty much up close & personal, but not as close as Mr. Picture Taker Jan, he wanted a nice close up (and he got it).
As we were driving through Northern BC, it dawned on me the logpole pine trees were really healthy looking - no pine beetles. As I was admiring the green trees, we came around a curve face to face with the remains of a forest fire that happened last year. It went on for miles and even destroyed an entire mountain.
Tonight we are at the Baby Nugget RV Park in Nugget City (the RV park is Nugget City) in the Yukon Territory. It's pretty expensive as far as RV parks go plus they charge for everything - a shower is $1.00 (or 1 Loonie in Canada) for 2.5 minutes. I'm glad I have my own! Jan also had to pay $5.00 for WiFi but it's worth it (it's been free in most of the parks that offer it).
Believe it or not, it was actually hot here today. I was of course wearing jeans and long sleeves because we ARE in the Yukon and had to change into shorts & a short sleeve shirt. Jerry & Nancy even turned on their AC.
I reported earlier that the speed limit signs just had a number - well - I have noticed that in British Columbia the speed limit signs have a km/h under the number. I didn't want to mis-speak (like a politician).
