Got down to 40 degrees last night.....actually turned on the heat for a bit.
Driving in to the campground last night I noticed that they had it surrounded with an electric fence......bears? Really?
Well....I walk out of the shower this morning and there's a grizzly and 2 cubs 150 yards away on the other side of the fence. Unreal.......by the time I left there were wardens and mobs of people snapping pics. People will just leave their RV running in the middle of the road with their door wide open, they are so desperate to get a photo. The ranger's got to tell them to get back in and move the thing, and they still snap pics wildly as they walk back to the drivers seat.
If you click on the photo of the bear above, you'll see the cub a bit better.
Tried a few spots fishing but I think the rivers are too blown out....meaning too much water from melting.....they were raging. Too many rules in Canada for fishing also. Made it tough.
Decided to possibly extend my trip by 100 miles by driving whats called the icefields parkway. It was excellent.....3 hours of nothing but the most scenic views I've ever seen. After a while you get numb to it all....
At the end of the Parkway was the village of Jasper......tourists everywhere, by the bus load....bought some gas and blew out of there....headed for Mile 0 of the Alaskan Highway at Dawson Creek. 1200 to Fairbanks......good to go.
