Toad River to Teslin

Well folks, I got up to four pictures now. Update - Friday we traveled from Dawson Creek (Mile Post O) to the Testa River MP 366. That’s 366 miles. We are just over the Testa River bridge with a great view of the river. What’s really neat is that we stayed in the same spot in 2004. Wow, we had Mom Hill and Stan/Linda Frasier here also in their rigs. No Datastorm here, just too many mountains. We saw four bears each at a different place along the road today. The roads were real good until after Ft Nelson then about 45-50 MPH was tops due to the road conditions.

Today, Saturday, we are at MP 769 just about 7 miles south of Teslin. It's a closed down gas station on high ground. the datastorm came up. Today we saw 6 more bears, 6 buffalo, 1 carbou and one moose. That was all within the first 1 1/2 hours of starting. We started about 7 AM to see the animals. It's cool. Carol jumped out of bed this morning to go down the road only to find I was already up. We went thru some road construction which was gravel. The car lower front end got it pretty bad with nicks in the gray rubber. the car shield got beat upon. the Farton's raditor got a lot of little dings. The rear of the coach got a lot of tiny chips. Oh well, next time a little slower and it's officially a used rig now. PS I nipped a orange construction barrel also. I will need to some buffing to get the tail wag scrapes out. I didn't even move the barrell. It was alittle tight.
I haven't learned spel check yet. We took over a 100 pics today and it's hard to pic only 4 out of a hundred.
Tomorrow we hang a hard left and go south to Skagway, AK. We plan going to the only show in town and ride the Skagway train. Probably spend 3 nights there. hopefully I get these shiny wheels up to par.

Tried to clean the front of bugs and do the windshiled but the mosquetos wanted dinner. I decided I wanted to stay slim and trim and keep what I had. They won.
