We continue to travel north to explore and enjoy more of our favorite places in BC.
We camped right on the beautiful Meziadin lake at the provincial park for three days. We could literally step out of the Casita, right into the lake! Gorgeous! This simply doesn't happen often in California!
The managers of the park take significant pride in the setting. The pit toilets were decked with flowers and the grass and weeds were all closely trimmed and mowed. Everything was meticulous!

The lake is filled with fish and the camper next to us caught a 16 pound lake trout from a kayak. Picture pulling that fish in...he spent a bit of time touring the lake, gently guided by the trout. We offered to help them eat it - but no such luck! The first day there, it rained all day. We simply tucked into our little trailer and read a book - enjoying these beautiful views outside our back window!

This is the farthest north we have ever traveled. As we drive north, we will be exploring towns and parks we have never seen before...exciting!
Howdy, good to hear from ya, are ye "sourdoughs" yet? Oh that's right you are not in Alaska yet, but soon. Oh boy the camping spots are sure a sight for sore eyes. Just wish we were 25 again and had started out pulling a casita! Ok, any fish yet Ernie? What about that bakery I saw in Stewart, anything tasty?
ReplyDeleteHave to get out our big aaa map of the Yukon and also So Alaska now and keep your location set in my mind.
Keep on posting......Stay Thirsty my Friends

We're gradually adjusting more easily to life-on-the-road with all the little daily things we must do when traveling. Ernie will probably pull out a fishing pole in Alaska, but the fear of catching a huge one is daunting at best. Not only the cost for the license, the effort to pull it in, but also to clean it and package it for safe-keeping. Our tiny fridge has a freezer the size of a shoe box. We checked out the bakery in Stewart, but unfortunately, they were all sold out by noon, unfortunately. We finally have access now in Skagway now, so we will do a ton of updates today and tomorrow, then on to Haines. We are having so much fun and this is such beautiful country, it takes our breath away sometimes! Missing you folks!
