This morning started out bright and beautiful even though the temp was only in the upper 40’s. Cold last night, but under the sleeping bag we were cozy. Started out helping a fellow camper jump start his truck. He apparently used too much juice in his pop up camper last night and ran the battery down. Been there, done that.
Got on the road about 9am. Not too much to report. Stopped in the town of Smithers. We had lunch at McDonalds. Just a little bit of home for us. We had to pick up a new grill, ours finally bit the dust. Then it was on to the Cassiar Highway. Our first Alaska sign (as you can see on our post). This evening we are perched on the shore of Meziadin Lake listening to the drizzly rain on the roof of our camper and watching a loon dive for his supper. When we first arrived the mosquitoes descended upon us like a hoard of winged sharks. We tried to have a campfire but the rain has put a damper on that plan, at least its not snowing. Only 1500 more miles and approximately 7 more days and we’ll be in Alaska. We actually we’ll be in and out of Alaska for a short time tomorrow. The little town of Hyder has a big attraction for bears, so we are going to be there tomorrow during the day. Hopefully we’ll get some pics for you.
