Pretty low key day. Although I was the first up this morning, we still didn't get off real early. Paul finally figured out the camper brake problem and yes it is fixed! Think it was rather important since we will be doing alot of mountain climbing the next couple of days! Once again he is sooo knowledgeable, capable, and resourceful!! We are still pushing him on the new camper!!! We told him since he didn't get a souvenir in Alaska, that maybe the camper should be it!!!
Anyway, pretty much are going the same route home as we came at least for today, then we are taking a different route with new sights! Nothing new to report. Canada is beautiful, but expensive. Travelled about 450 miles today, was really glad to stop for the nite. Ended in Fort St. John. We stayed in this town on the way but are at a different campground this time, very nice and homey!
When we left this morning the smoke from the forrest fires had pretty much cleared! When we went to bed last nite it was pretty smokey and smelly. Apparently the fire was still out there, just hadn't got that far yet. Glad we are headed away from it and has been a clear beautiful day. Has gotten much warmer too. I need a tan really bad! Paul would stop to do my nails this trip, but I'm not going to push for him stopping at a tanner!!! Oh well.
We did see some wildlife today and very up close and personal. First a couple herd of Buffalo. They were grazing right along side the road, they are just slow moving and lazy looking. But a beautiful site. Next we stopped right on the road to view a Stone mountain sheep. He had the horns and all, and just stood eating along the side of the road! We could have just reached out and touched him, he never did run off, even when we had the windows down and the girls were talking to him. Awesome!
