Last night we camped at Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park in BC. It is south of Watson Lake if you look on a map. All natural hot springs. Wonderful all the way around. It was a good drive from Whitehorse, with beautiful scenery, bears, moose, and wonderful rivers and streams. A beautiful drive. A highlight of the day was a stop at First Nation Center of the Tlingit, and saw a fiberglass canoe in the traditional style, that nine Tlingit women are going to paddle in the Yukon River Quest, on June 24th from Whitehorse to Dawson City, a 450 mile race. They expect to take 72-80 hours. No stops. Take turns sleeping while others paddle. There will be several hundred entries, but this will be the only traditional canoe paddled by all women.
We got away from there at 10 this morning but I did not feel very good, so we stopped early today at Ft. Nelson, BC and are staying in a nice Motel. We needed to do laundry and rest. So I am resting while Mary is doing Laundry. During the last 50 miles the land has flatten out and some nice farm land. I think from here on we get more flat land.
We did see buffalo (timber Bison to be exact) and rock mountain sheep to day. Some beautiful streams and mountains before we got to the flatter land.

I jealous. I'd really like to check out those hot springs. I hope you both feel better soon and enjoy the remainder of your trip.
Tonight Jack has his graduation ceremony. Graduation from elementary school, who would have thought!
