Still in Whitehorse as I have Verizon coverage and spending
the day checking my financial accounts online making sure all is as they should
be. Will leave in the morning headed out of the Yukon and into British
Columbia. Want to go by Hyder-Stewart which is right on the Alaska Border
to visit Fish Creek and watch the bears feed on salmon (Forestry Service has a
nice platform high over the river to watch from).
From there will slowly head toward Prince George and spend 3
or 4 nights to plan my next route. As of this morning the Canada Wildfires are
still out of control. The highway in my original plan is closed making me
select a "Plan B". I don't mind Plan B as it adds about 100 more
miles of scenic views and will end me up close to the Washington Coast. Just
hope Plan B highways stay open..... if they close, they only route left for me
is back to Jasper and Banf which will put me on a path NOT going to
Washington/Oregon area. Just have to
wait and see........
When I leave tomorrow morning will be out of Verizon
coverage area until I get to Bear RV Park in Stewart. I have friends there today viewing the bears -- will be anxious to hear their thoughts and if the salmon are running (otherwise, bears won't be at the river). Don't look for any updates until around Tuesday (18th).
Think I'll drive downtown to the Visitor's Center, walk
on the River Boardwalk, have lunch then check my finances. The sun is shining although rain is in the
forecast for later this afternoon. Not
much more to write about............
Just hope I don't need to make a Plan C. The wildfires seem to be all NorthWest of Kamloops -- for now. |
Hope all goes well on this next part of the journey. Maybe the salmon are running and bears will be feeding. Be Safe
