Unexpectedly, we drove over 700 miles today in about 13+ hours. The cats were very well behaved the ENTIRE time, which was a miracle. And they did get a treat when we stopped.

Between Ft St John and Watson Lake, we saw a TON of wildlife. We started the morning with a close look at a small black bear. Then some moose came trotting out of the woods. We got a good look at some caribou (cariboo in the Queen’s English). We must’ve also seen about 30 Stone Sheep (or, as Char likes to call them, Rock Sheep). These guys are amazing. They will just scamper right up a rocky hillside like they were running across an open plain. Incredible. We also saw deer and bison.

What a fun day! It is good to have made some ground, and the drives on tomorrow and Friday will not be so bad. Tomorrow, the goal is Tok, AK, and back to the USA! (I’ve got to get rid of this Canadian money.)

Sorry for backdating some of these posts. The internet here in Canada has been sketchy at best.

Also, all pictures are not quite up yet. The bandwidth is killer ... Check here for updates.
