Traveled from Glacier National Park up to BC Canada through some pretty awesome scenery. The Kootenay Lakes region was especially beautiful. We were glad to have a couple of days rest at Sunny Valley Ranch with my sister-in-law Ursula and visiting with my nieces and nephews and their offsprings in Kamloops. Good times was had by all.
Then the road took us North via the grand Alaska Highway. We started on Hyw 97 in Kamloops, BC which joined up with the Alaskan Hyw. in Ft. St. John followed by Ft. Nelson, Watson Lake, Ukon then on the White Horse (capitol of Ukon) and then again across the border into Alaska. It has been a very long drive, but so worth it. It took us four days driving through the most rugged and scenic country. We did not see as much wildlife as we thought we would, other then a herd of wild buffalos, which was of course a big treat, but today we got the prize, a beautiful bald eagle flew right over our RV on the Alaska Hwy, I think he was welcoming us to Alaska! This made up big time for not having spotted a moose yet. Tomorrow we will make it to Denali National Park, our furthest destination. The weather has been mixed, cloudy, rainy and a bit of sun, not too hot, nights are pretty cool, low 50's.
