Had a Fox come by the camp last night (if you call it night, as it really never got totally dark) it was pretty, sorry no picture. Maybe we’ll see a moose today, trying to get to Liard Hot springs today.

So I need to tell you about the Pack Train of RVs.  After getting up in the late morning and taken a Tooney shower, that is what they call a $2 Canadian piece.  I have my first experience of seeing the train of RVs set out on travelling up the Alaskan Highway.  I cringe as I figure I will catch up to the slow pack and be stuck behind them all day.  I tell Miss Daisy we aren’t going anywhere for a while and it works out that they stay ahead of us with our stops at different locations and only see them at the next campsite.  We eventually get ahead of them by traveling in the evening to only meet the next pack a day ahead of the current one.  This is a norm during the summer travel season on the Alaskan Hwy.
