It wasn’t until about 3 weeks into our trip that we had some warm weather.

Since we passed by Liard Hot Springs during a thunderstorm, we circled back to it and as it happened, it was one of the hottest days yet!

Once we tore ourselves out of there, we headed to Lower Post where an historical ceremony had taken place on Canada Day.

From 1951 to 1975 the children of the indigenous nations of Yukon and Northern British Columbia were stolen from their families and sent to the residential school run by the catholic church in Lower Post. It was a place of terror and desperate loneliness and has been a source of trauma and painful memories ever since.

However, many of the leaders of the Daylu Dena Council as well as leaders and survivors from neighbouring northern communities returned to the site to witness the final demolition of the remnants of the school building. They held a ceremony to prepare for a new multi-purpose Cultural Center, a place for self-government meetings for social and cultural gatherings and a place for community members to visit one another and to find peace and healing.

I have lost track of what day of is as we have not had phone service for days.  But at some point after this, we went to Stewart.

I can’t pass up an opportunity to capture the ’57 Chevs. I also have never seen a toaster museum before.

We have seen more bears than we ever have before… And a bee. Well, and ducks, coyotes, marmot, fox, grouse, eagles, hawks, cariboo, bison, deer …

From there to Fish Creek near Hyder, Alaska then back into BC to the Salmon Glacier.

We decided to stay here over night. Is there any wonder why? Here is our ‘camper view’.

What is next?  New roads keep popping up so we just never know.
