This was pretty much a traveling day with about 325 miles logged to Fort Nelson. The road seemed to go on forever between incredibly dense forests trimmed back about 100 yards on each side of the road with pretty much rolling hills terrain. There was almost no sign of civilization other than an occasional store or gas station. There are beautiful lakes and streams everywhere. Everything was so very green and beautiful. The varieties of pine trees are very different from all the ones back around home. We hit a number of rain showers on the way and it continues quite cool in the 50’s and 60’s. We also saw our second bear cross the highway just ahead of Gene today. It is now 10:30 PM and still just dusk.

Thanks for updating your blog! Sound like you have had some mechanical problems, but thanks to Dad's skills nothing has been too problematic. I'm glad you are getting to see the country and I am excited for you to get back to Alaska where I can call you on the phone :) I love you. Stay safe and keep us updated when you get the chance!
