Our first stop in BC was a snug little campground with wood ferns, tall pines and a little creek running right behind our campsite. Would have been ideal but for the trains running on the other side of the creek every 20 min. At the next campsite, equally beautiful with the tall pines and the idealic lake view we had. Gary was trying to get a straight shot to the southern sky so he could use the satillite and see the Golf Channel. So we camped next to a mesquito infested swamp. We did meet a couple from Vancouver who had been traveling in their View J Model for the past couple of years full time. They had done the four corners of the US and Baja Mexico. They asked us over to visit - and this is what gets me the most - their rig was pristine. Mine starts off clean goes to shabby in a couple of minutes and then gets downright dirty. I'm giving it a thorough cleaning when we get to Fairbanks.
The Alaskan Highway has lived up to it's name. It is just beautiful -the mountains, rushing rivers, pine trees and aspens, wild life. We've seen black bear, buffalo, Stone sheep (they look like small mountain goats) and a grey wolf. We got photos of all but the wolf. Gary was trying to make it up a hill and didn't want to stop for a quick photo. What a loss as they are very rare. This afternoon, we did have a little rain off and on while we were driving. Otherwise the weather is as close to perfect as it can get.

We are at Campground Cervices RV Park in Watson Lake, Yukon. We hope to be in Whitehorse, Yukon tomorrow night and Tok, Alaska by Monday afternoon?
