Today we saw Four caribou, a family unit? Sorry no pic, 😕 fast and far away. Listened to Unpaved roads, gravel, rain, and the kerthunk sound of the shocks bottoming out on a frost heave or dip in the road. The breeze in the aspens. Wondered How sunshine on trees, which we've seen for Many Days Now, can still be beautiful. I'm thankful for No mosquitos tonight, and a dry campsite. catching up pics…
First - a little forest bathing with the mosquitos and morning coffee ☕ Bison again, this time more 😁 Into Yukon Territory After the rest of the morning at the Laundromat in town, stopped at the Signpost Forest, the 100,000 strong signpost landmark! Great showers at the Community Rec Center. Clean clothes clean selves. Onward, deeper into Yukon Territory, North and West we go.
Some days just flow by when you're in the driver seat. On a gray ribbon of road laid over a blanket of green - grasses, spruce, aspen. We saw animal crossing signs 🚸 all along the road - for deer (plentiful), for wild 🐎 horses (never saw a single one), for elk (none), for caribou (none of those either), after the 🦬 bison crossing sign there were two calmly grazing in the ditch - big hulking…

Ponds with…

And then ran off, after her act of bravery. I'm…
Yesterday we saw The Fraser River, again and again as we follow it upriver from the "Dirty Fraser" section to the "Mighty Fraser" Bridal Veil Falls Also, evidence of past forest fires, and new growth. So many horses and some foals!(Use your imagination for old grazing dusty horses, and some frolicsome little ones) I'm thankful for Air conditioning (high desert/plains 98°F/36-37°C) and traveling in…
Starting out lounged on a patio, everything quiet but the morning birds? Just right! Doing a little grocery shop here in Delta BC then driving for 7+ hrs Northward!
Today I saw So many trees, the Skagit River Listened to Son of Flynn by Daft Punk Wondered Why my bus driver chose this job (she's good at it but also has an amazing radio voice) I'm thankful for People I left, and people I'm going to!!
