We hope to stay at this campground on our way back to Alaska.  It is very beautiful here.

Folowing our soak at Liard Hotsprings we drove further into the northern Rockies of British Columbia.  We passed through Muncho Lake and Stone Mountain Provincial Parks and made notes of where we would like to camp, hike, and visit on our way back to Alaska.  Along the way was saw countless black bears, bison, stone sheep, two grizzlies, a caribou, and a moose.  It was great and the scenery was stunning.

We drove along and eventually made it to Fort Nelson where we bought groceries and gas.  We took off in the mid-afternoon expecting to drive several more hours to Pink Mountain where we would camp for the night.  We did that but when we got to the Pink Mountain Campground it was over filled with oil field workers.  No room for us.  We decided to drive on.  And on.  We eventually ended up in Fort St. John where we are presently staying at a Rotary Campground.  After all that I can tell you that it is a beautiful and long drive to get from Coal River Lodge to Fort St. John...British Columbia.
