On the way to the Yukon

5/30/2016 Monday  Start: Triple G Campground, Ft Nelson, BC  End: Liard Hot Springs, BC, Canada

A short day ending in a full hookup sit where we did laundry and had hot showers.  Pricey ($39.00 Canadian) but we need to dump, add water, do laundry, etc.  More cloudy skies and cold (42 degrees Fahrenheit overnight).  We went to dinner at the campground’s restaurant because I was too lazy to cook.  It was okay but over-priced.  No pictures today, just driving.

Today was a beautiful day driving from Fort Nelson to Liard Hot Springs.

  We spent a few hours driving through the Canadian Rockies, majestic peaks covered in snow and stately rows of pine trees. We saw mountain goats on the roadside,

pulled over for lunch at Muncho Lake

and stopped about 2:00 pm at the hot springs.  The pools are hot from underground volcanic activity and smell slightly of sulfur.  We soaked for about a half hour

and on the way back to camp watched a moose in the marsh. It was close!

 I’d put a spinach frittata in the crockpot, plugged into the inverter connected to the batteries and we had dinner at 5 in front of the campfire.  We tucked in for the night about 7 and it stayed light well past 9.  Tomorrow we should be in the Yukon.
