So, from Anchorage on Sept 15th, we drove to the Yukon border, and after a quick stop through customs (our easiest one so far), we stopped at a provincial park for the night. On Sunday we continued on to Whitehorse, and stayed at the same park we had on the way up. Nothing special, but at least it was open! Many of the parks had begun to close for the season, and we had to keep checking each day to see if they were going to turn off the water. Thankfully the weather cooperated, and they didn't have to turn it off at all. One evening we got a beautiful shot of the sunset...
The following Friday we left on our 1,000 mile weekend, stopping first just near the start of the Cassiar Highway. Here are some maps to show where we are...
We had been told that the Cassiar had some magnificent views, and they didn't disappoint. I took a LOT of photos, but I didn't want to post too many. Here are a few...
We stopped for lunch, and a chance for the kids to run around and burn off a bit of energy!! 1,000 miles over three days can be really boring, even if the scenery is beautiful!

On Saturday we stopped at Miziadin Lake Provincial Park, it was the last night they would be open for the season, and we were told we would have to "vacate the premises" by 8am! Good thing Mario's an early riser - we were gone by 6:30 that morning! It was another beautiful park, one we'd like to come back to when we can spend a bit more time. I love the way the water mirrors the trees and sky!
So, by leaving at 6:30am, we were able to make it to Vanderhoof, BC by 2pm, and that's where we are now. We'll be here another couple of days, and then go to Williams Lake on Saturday, continuing to Vancouver this Sunday. We're getting closer and closer to being back in the US for the rest of the trip.
Now I have you all up to date! I'll try to give you a recap of Vanderhoof tomorrow, before we head off!
I must say, that is an impressive photo of the sunset. If Mario took it, than it's VERY impressive. These shots make me miss Montana. Sounds like everything is still going pretty smooth overall. Continue to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteActually, Mario did take it, from the top of the RV. It was one of several I got to choose from. Things are going very well, we're all getting into a groove now that school has started. We are looking forward to being back in the States and being better connected.
ReplyDeleteI agree that is an amazing sunset photo. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt really is incredible, isn't it?
