Jasper Day 2
Dzisiaj, Kanada ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
We were so tired last night that we came home from our supper and just cleaned up and went to sleep! I woke up at 5:20 to a beautiful sunrise so I gathered my things and went to shower. No one was the bathhouse waiting before or after. Phil got up and showered afterward while I made coffee. I saw a piliated woodpecker foraging in the trees nearby. (The big Woody Woodpecker kind) It was about 36 F and Phil was really cold so we went to town and bought breakfast.
We stopped at the bank for Canadian cash. We are told further north that many stations take only cash because of the difficulty with connectivity. I also called and got us a spot at a campground for tomorrow in Prince George, BC, which is about 206 miles west of here.
We are taking the Cassiar Highway north due to fires on the Alcan and will come back in July/August on the Alcan. The Cassiar Highway was recommended by my friend Carrie Barr from Laramie. It heads north another 200 miles or so west of Prince George and joins the Alcan up north at Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory.
Today, we went on a 4.9 km hike ( a little over 3 miles). We went to 5 Lakes Valley. Very pretty, and Phil tolerated the hike better than the one a couple of days ago. We also used his "Merlin" app to identify birds we heard and saw. It is from Cornell University and was part of Phil's birding online courses.
We saw and heard several different birds, including a couple of mother hooded mergansers and their ducklings on some of the lakes.
Afterwards we came back and I cooked us a skillet casserole lunch on the campstove using some leftovers (one brat, a diced shallot, some leftover corn, a half a pack of Bertolli's microwavable macaroni, a couple of squirts of tomato paste from a tube, a squirt of Italian herb paste, a squirt of garlic paste, a few chopped asparagus spears, a splash of white wine, and some Italian shredded cheese on top). It's very tasty. Now we are just hanging out watching new families come in to camp. Czytaj więcej
