Day 4 BC to Yukon Territory

It has been a long day today ~ I think we are a little over 2000 miles into the trip in 4 days but it has been amazing! We left Edmonton yesterday morning and have just been plugging along. We have been through the Canadian Rockies for most of the day today and it was beautiful. We have been seeing lots of wildlife, including 4 bears, 3 black and one brown (all within about 50 feet from the car), Moose, porcupine, tons of Bison, Elk, fox, and some really neat stone sheep that we probably could have reached out and touched from the car.

We also spent a couple of hours at Laird Hot Springs today swimming. It came highly recomended from Jason and Lorie Thorman and we thank them for it! Very neat place and the boys loved it.

They have also been Rock hounding. Mark has placed limits on how many rocks can be brought back to the camper but I seem to be the one with the most problem sticking to the limit!

We are camping at a campground called Dawson Place or something like that right out side of Teslin YK. for tonight and then we will head on toward Tok and toward Fairbanks. More photos to come, hopefully of carribou as they have illuded us so far!
