Liard Hwy June 10th

 After breakfast, we took a drive up the Liard Hwy. We only went about half an hour up and back because the scenery doesn't change, gravel road and trees. Although we did come across three herds of these.


The baby in the centre of the photo put on a show for us. Jumping, prancing and rolling on the ground, fun to watch.
This one must have been the sentinal, it never took it's eyes of us the whole time we were parked on the side of the road.
Before we went back to the campsite, we cheched out Ft. Liard. Nice little town, one general store, one gas station and a groecery store. The general store had a little of everything, cool store. The grocery store was well stocked. Fuel was $2.297, second most so far. Our stay here has been great, we are glad we decided to check out the NWT.

They have a water treatment plant, everyone gets their water there. There is no piped water system, they get their water delivered to a tank in the house. The main steats are paved, the rest are good gravel.

We are going to see how much water we can get for a loonie. The despencer is timed and no one could tell us how much water we would get or how long the timer stays on. I will post my findings latter.

Today we are heading towards Muncho LK., we will stop for the night somewhere inbetween.

    Enjoying the updates! McDonald Campground at Muncho Lake looks like an interesting spot... I am sure there are several to choose from.

 Well we made it, 47 thousand steps, well, maybe a bit of an exaggeration but there are alot. A nice walk from the campsite, got a few caches on the way. Our loop, first come first served, is quite empty. I think the reserved aera has more campers. Here are a few photos from our walk. We wern't sure if these guys would let us pass but they just moved along wiithout any fuss. Till next time.

Skagway

One of the main attractions in Skagway is the White Pass Railway. As it goes almost the same route to and from Whitehorse as driving, we decided not to bother with the train.  We drove back up the hill to take a few pictures. In the photo below, you can see the rail line just above the guard rail on the right, it goes up the valley, and back out on the mountain side on the left. The highway stays on this side of the main valley. There was supposed to be a geocache at this waterfall. We didn't find it, or the three other ones we looked for in Skagway. Looking down the valley towards Skagway. On the Thursday before we got there, a rock slide came down and hit the gangways and a cruise ship. There wasn't much damage but they had to call in the inspectors before they could move the ship. It came down right where the ship to the left is sitting. On the way to Dyea, now a ghost town, returning to nature. Skagway is the perfect tourist town, beautiful scenery, with the town very close...
