July 22 - Nearly Home!!

Stopped in Saskatoon to see Uncle Kent, had a nice visit. The scenery now is looking a lot like home 🙂

This is me in the truck. 

Pretty canola fields. 

July 21 - Alberta

We left the Alaska Highway today (at Dawson Creek). Just before we crossed into Alberta we crossed Tate Creek!  Will have to try for a picture of that next time we come this way!  In lieu of that, here’s a picture of my own Tate 🙂❤️. 

This is Rochfort Bridge. Pretty cool structure!!  It’s between Mayerthorp and Edmonton. 

July 20

Last night we stayed at a rest stop just past Muncho Lake. Had a good sleep and headed for FortSt John.  Everyone was tired today, I watched a home reno DVD called FixerUpper for a while as we travelled.  Went to Boston Pizza for supper, itwas good 👌🏻. 🙂

July 19 - Heading out of YT

Today we stopped for lunch at Big Creek Campground. Battled horseflies, black flies and mosquitoes. Short pit stop inWatson Lake and then on to BC. Up to today we’ve seen a gopher, porcupine and ravens but today along the Liard River we saw buffalo and black bears. Definitely not as much wildlife as when we came up. 

The Liard River

A little black bear. 

July 18 - Carcross

Left the camper at Squanga and did a side trip to Carcross. Saw the Carcross Desert, which is actually an ancient Lake. Sand was beautiful there!

Drove past Carcross to see Bove Island, very pretty.

And lots of little shops in Carcross, lots of tourists too!  We didn’t buy anything but it was interesting to look. 

July17 - Whitehorse/Squanto Lake

Stopped in Whitehorse today, did a little touring around. Then headed for Squanga Lake. Camping there for a couple nights. 

Had a fire and Dad cooked marshmallows for mom and I.  Yum!

Seeing lots of fireweed, but this was growing around the campsite. Not sure what it is!

July 16 - back in to Canada

Passed through Customs at BeaverCreek this morning. Right after that, our first sign of fire sincewe left. 

We haven’t had any issues with smoke.  Stayed at Otter Falls, just past Haines Junction and heading for Whitehorse tomorrow.
