Chuck:

A great critter day:  Tons of Stone Sheep in groups of 10 – 30; maybe 50 buffalo (American Bison) some in herds & some loners; nine black bears, all individual sightings.  All this was seen from a vehicle.  We slowed and sometimes stopped to get photos.  Also, the scenery was great; the Peace River, Liard River and dozens of others. Snow is still on the sides of many peaks; we are passing through the Rocky Mountains.  We stop for the “World’s Best Hot Cinnamon Buns”, it is a lonesome campsite and roadside café in a deep remote valley.  I pitched a tent here 10 years ago and Herb still has a full white beard, quick wit and lotsa info for travelers.  Back on the road, we hear a rock “ping” on the windshield which now has a small crack and it is growing.  We will be spending the night in the Downtown RV Campground in Watson Lake, Yukon.
