Towards Fort Nelson the landscape changed to rolling hills. We stopped in the town for petrol and supplies but there wasn’t a lot to attract us so we kept going. Leaving town there were some great cliffs in the distance that reminded us a bit of the Blue Mountains near Sydney.

Annoyingly there were lots of road works that afternoon which meant we didn’t get as far as we’d planned and our car’s air filter wasn’t happy with all the dust ...

... Captain Clint let me take over the ship for a while. That was exciting! The cruise was approximately 2 hours in length.

We returned to the motorhome, I did some more ironing and we both took a nap.

Several people bought CDs on the boat and asked me to make copies for them, so I spent a good part of the evening doing that and just wasting time on the computer.

... left Watson Lake, we could see the upper reaches of the Cassiar Mountains. Within 20 miles, we noticed what we thought was “weather” ahead. The further we drove, the views became more obscured. By the time we reached our lunch stop at Teslin Lake, we could smell smoke and the opposite side of the lake was barely visible. The smoke had dissipated slightly by the time we reached Whitehorse but the smoky aroma still hangs in the air. I’m sure ...

... as "suicide hill" is not far and off we go. They used to have a sign at the top of the hill that said "Prepare to meet thy Maker". We couldn't see the sign this time.
Decision is made to stop at Skikanni Chief River Campground at the bottom of suicide hill as it's raining, cold and windy and we need dinner! Campground is just a parking lot with a place to plug in electric and a water faucet. River is close by ...

... Callaghan Valley to ski and watch the World Cup Cross country races. This was the test event for the 2010 Olympics next year. We know we won't be able to go next year so this was our Olympics. The best skiers in the world would be there. We'd get the same effect without all the crowds and security. We got lucky with the weather as it was above 0C and sunny the whole time we were there. We went from frost bite to sunburn all within a couple for days. This was our ...

... cms again last night so the snow pack is growing. The cold weather has its pluses. I went walking with Cedar today and went down a trail that has been flooded by beavers so until it froze we couldn't get too far. On the other side of the swamp is a trail that is perfect for skiing. I was on snowshoes and walked for about 45 minutes until I turned back. There is a sign up on a tree asking for non skiers to stay off so it may be a great local trail ...

We made it to Whitehorse Yukon. It rained today. Bandit- that's the name of the Toyota camper- gets an oil change tommorow. I am at a public library and only get 15 min. so this is short. Traveling again Mon. We have seen many brown bears. The hot springs in Liard are great. They are very hot. Spencer

... have met. Cedar comes in and if Nickel is on the couch he just stay there until there is a chance to dash to the basement. He doesn't seem to bother Cedar too much as she tends to look the other way when the cat is around. Cedar did give the cat the bums rush off the 10' high deck one day. Nickel does like to sit on our laps and snooze so I'm sure there will be times, this winter, when they will have to occupy the same space. Sept 1/08 The weather has broken and we ...
