Fort Nelson

Day 17 Friday, 7/3: Left camp early (before 8:00), back across the Liard River by ferry, onto the Liard Hwy. another 250 km. to the BC border. Saw a large bear on the road and more bison. This is a dirt/gravel road most of the way until the border when it turns to pavement. The last time we were on this road (about 7 years ago) we only saw one other vehicle. Times have changed and we encountered about a dozen or more this time…. Had to put some diesel in the truck as we almost ran out of fuel. This was about 30 km. from Fort Nelson. Drove into town, fueled, and had a low tire on the truck repaired. Had a small nail in it… Same as Les Schwab, free fix!

Staying at a small RV park west of town and they say we have Wifi next to the office so we are going to try and post this to our blog. Slow wi-fi, but at least we are on. Next blog in Watson Lake, 2-3 days down the road
