Fort Nelson, BC

Mom was very protective of her cubs as they crossed the highway. She went up to the road on one side, sent the cubs across then she crossed and stayed on the side until she was sure they were safe and followed. Lazy bisons and a goofy caribou. Didn't get the moose he was in a stream and we couldn't stop without causing an accident.

As boring as yesterday's drive was, today's was scenic. The views were spectacular. We followed many lakes and streams today and drove through the Northern Rockies. We learned a couple of things. Bears and other critters don't necessarily s**t in the woods. We know this by the piles of it we have seen on the side of the road for the last two days. We also got to see the animals that left the deposit. It was a great day for animal viewing. We saw a black bear with two cubs, a lone bison and a herd of bison, a couple of caribou and a moose. Still haven't been able to view an elusive sheep so probably have missed out on that. We are at the Bluebell Inn RV Park. It is downtown in Fort Nelson. Not the most glamorous but functional. We didn't even unhook from the truck. We got here around 6ish and hope to up and out early tomorrow to get to Dawson Creek. We will stay a couple of nights there and then head into Alberta--Edmonton and Calgary which will take three maybe four days of driving.
