Hi All: We got on the road again this morning and headed Kinda South again. We passed the road that went down the Cassiar Highway and the RV's were stacked up to the Alaska Highway waiting to be taken thru the forest fire area. IF they allowed it today. We left it behind and continued down the Alaska Highway.

Above is a herd of buffalo walking along the side of the highway. The messy windshield caused it to NOT turn out like Amy wanted it. I think we killed half the bugs in British Columbia on our windshield. At least we saw our first Bison on this trip.


Above is a photo Amy took of me CLEANING the bugs off the windshield so her pictures would come out better in the future. The guy with me is a guy who was traveling and resting at this rest area also. He was eating his lunch. Would not share....

Above is a Caribou along the side of the road. Amy is finally having fun, as she is seeing some wild animals. Today we have seen more than we have the whole trip so far. Think the windshield is cleaner. Amy's camera was focusing on the bugs and making her wildlife all fuzzy.

Another wild animal.. It's a Stone Sheep licking the stones along the side of the road. There were several of them, but this one paid no attention to the motor home passing it. Amy is so happy..

Another wild animal along the side of the road. Amy filled up a 2 gig chip with the animals she saw on this trip???? You wouldn't believe the people out of their rigs taking photo's of these little fellows. There is no cure for "Stupid"..

We are at a campground in "Toad River" now. There is no cell phone service here, however, we do have electricity, water and cable TV, and WiFi here at this place. We are not to far from the Generator that provides all the electricity to the restaurant, gas station and the campground. There are no overhead electric lines along the roads around here. They have to provide their own electricity. The Toad River is a beautiful river. To bad it has such a strange name. Not sure where it got it's name either.

We leave in the morning for another campground at "Pink Mountain" on the Alaska Highway. It is not near anything and I suspect it is like this campground. No Cell Phone. WE have not been able to make any reservations at campgrounds, but there appears to be few RV's on the highway now. Guess the tourist season is about over. They'll have snow in a few weeks here.

We can see some of the smoke here from the fires on Cassiar I guess. Sad to see all this beautiful forest destroyed, probably by some careless person.......

Well, not sure when I will have another Blog, as I don't know what Pink Mountain has to offer it's campers....
