Fort Nelson, BC
















Now did you think I forgot about the other thing we learned today? Just saved it for it's own page. We learned firsthand why the Rocky Mountain are so called. Just look at the pictures and you too will see the reason. Unbelievable how enormous these rock faces are that just go on and on. We also went through an active fire zone today. Most of it was out. A lady at the gas station ($1.459/liter) told me there were a few hot spots that the firefighters were back burning. Lots of smoke to drive through and acres of charred trees. The Muncho Lake pic doesn't really convey the color of the Lake. It is a beautiful shade of green-blue caused by iron oxide. We followed it for miles and were amazed at it's color.
