6/23
Pitzed around Fort Nelson looking for diesel oil and a bug screen for the truck’s radiator, check on the oil but no go on the bug screen; so I’ll make one from window screening. Driving Rt 97 west from Fort Nelson is a fun drive; it’s all twisty-turney and upsy-downzy with steep inclines going through the mountains; it would be a dream in a Porsche or a Ferrari. The major problem with the road is that the scenery is incredibly gorgeous so we kept stopping for photos, even in the rain. Saw mama bear and cubs, stone sheep, and a wood buffalo herd. Finally arived at Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park. Set up the camper and soaked in the springs – Ahhhh!
