West of Whitehorse to Dease Lake

We hiked up the hill behind our camp site. Had a great view of the area. We ran into a local doing the same hike. Had a nice chat about the area. After leaving we heard on the radio that the Alcan was closed at Fort Nelson and that all cell service and the internet was down because of the fire. Most gas stations were not able to pump gas because of the down internet but we found one that did. We were driving down the Cassiar so the road closure was not an issue.
Another long day of driving. Got gas at the turn off to hi way 37. We were looking for a camping site that Bushell suggested but could find it but found a great spot right on the lake. Another gravel pit but the road took us to a spot on the lake. The lake still had a lot of ice on it but it was melting.
We saw a number of bears on the drive down 37 plus some caribou and saw a moose on our walk this morning. Bevis decided not to sleep in the tent because of all the bears we saw.Read more
