Last look along the Alcan


We met up with Wood Bison along the Alcan just south of Watson Lake.  There are big warning signs along the road warning of buffalo on the road.  This time we saw lots of them munching the grass alongside the road.  The bison keep the grass nicely mowed along a long stretch of highway.   At one point we had to stop and wait for them to cross the road. 

The views along Muncho Lake in this picture are spectacular.  The water is that pretty aqua color -- can't really see the color here.  We saw caribou, bear, sheep, moose and lots of porcupines as well as the bison on this part of the trip.  Of course we hit nasty road construction the last 100 miles back to Dawson Creek.  We went to the Ford dealer and had an oil change and had to put in a new air filter.  The dust in the construction zones is unbelievable.  They also checked the truck over and we need some front end work (things tightened) and an alignment which is no surprise after bouncing and banging down the nasty road. 

Another week in Canada and then we should be in the U.S. again.
