6/13/13
Got off to a late start today with guess what? More
Rain! Proceeded along the Alaska
Highway and noticed traffic pretty much non-existent now. This portion of the road climbs from
1,300 feet at Ft. Nelson to over 4,200 feet in the Canadian Rockies. Fog and low clouds impeded vision for
about the first two hours. Nearing
Muncho Lake the sun came out to permit some beautiful views of emerald Muncho
Lake area. Traveled about 200
miles today at an average speed of 37 MPH. Winding climbs and descents never seem to end until north of
Muncho Lake. We saw Big Horn
Sheep, several Moose, a Bison, and deer along the way.
Stopped tonight and tomorrow at Liard Hot Spring Provincial
Park. What a wonderful respite for
weary drivers. Just $ 21 per
night (no hookups) for water, a dump station, and wonderful hot springs pools
that are free with your camp fees.
