Sunday September 26th (Caribou day)













Laird Hot Springs to Pink Mountain
350 miles
We got away to an earlier start this morning not really sure how far we would drive today. The hiway was miles and miles of straight roads. It parallels many rivers and lakes and it was a extremely pleasant drive. We drove through Muncho Lake Provincial Park and Stone Mountain Provincial Park. There were caribou grazing along the side of the road and licking minerals from the road surface. They were very casual about getting off the road. Stopped at Summit Lake, every where you looked was beauty.
We stopped briefly at Fort Nelson population of 5000, we bought gas there the most expensive gas we have bought on this journey. The colors of foliage today were probably the best on the journey. With lovely lakes in foreground and snow capped mountains further away. Tonight we are camping at Pink Mountain, a spot on the road between Fort Nelson and Dawson Creek

    Oh boy, you are really seeing some great colour, to see Summit Lake with all the snow around is really spectacular. Glad you enjoyed Liard Hot Springs, they are quite something.
    Hopefully you are beating the snow....looks better than it did a few days ago.
