Happy Birthday to our great friend Brett! Well today was pretty uneventful and just  another driving day. We actually drove farther today than yesterday for a total of 467 miles. With two pups that is a lot of driving in one day. Lesa and I were talking about the days it was just us in a Jeep and we would drive well over 500 to 600 miles a day.

Today started out on highway 97 the Caribou highway, onto highway 16 the Yellowhead highway and then onto highway 37 the Stewart-Cassiar highway. Most of the day was partly sunny but we finally found the rain on those storm clouds we were chasing. Lesa and I were also talking how we have not seen any large wildlife yet on this trip.  By now we have usually seen black bear and deer and every now and then a moose.  Granted we did see the Bighorn Sheep yesterday as we flew by them.

We are staying the night in Meziadin Provincial park. Our favorite campsites back away from the lake are all closed due to Grizzly and Black bear activity.  See our favorite sites are surrounded by berries and better to have those sites closed right now. Saying that we are actually camping in a site right in front of those so if any bears do show up we will have a ring side seat to watch them. Granger and Moxee are doing wonderful so far, except for Moxee's tissue paper fetish that she indulged in this afternoon and we found when we pulled into camp.  Not sure when she got into that but obviously we had it to close to her at some point.  With all the rain right now we are all holed up in the camper. Maybe it will let up a bit later and we can go for a walk around camp and bark at the bears lol! It did finally stop so out we went for a quick evening walk but no bears to bark at.
