Monday, August 27th we pulled out of Rancheria at 6:30 but this morning we were armed with hot coffee and muffins courtesy of Brad & Nancy Nelson. They travel in an MV and tow a small trailer that has a machine in it to make ‘dog tags’. Brad has been busy making and selling ‘dog tags’ along the trip in most towns and because sales have been so good – he decided to share the wealth and treated us all to breakfast.
The roads were good and our first stop was at Watson Lake for fuel and a break. Diesel was $1.40/Litre so we filled up as we were advised that at our night stop it was almost $2.00.
We continued along and saw a few dead animals along the highway. A Bison, a cow and a small black bear as well as a porcupine. Farther along we came across quite a few Bison grazing on the side of the road.
A sign we saw many times along the road.
A bit of the winding road.
We stopped for lunch at Allan’s Lookout and just made a sandwich and took a ½ hour break. We then continued on to Liard River Lodge and RV Park where we pulled in just before noon and set up camp. Since we were at least 3 hours ahead of the MVs we decided to take a nap.
Some of the ladies took a walk up to the Hot Springs but said they were scared by 2 bears when walking back. A little later the park ranger stopped traffic going in and out of the Provincial Campground because of the 2 bears that were in a tree at the entrance.
The MVs started rolling around 3:30 and were all in and settled by 5:00. The campground had one diesel and one gas pump and it was selling for $1.97/Litre. We sat outside for a nice dinner with Muriel and Terry and then just had a quiet evening.
