On we roll! From Charlie Lake, so delightful that we spent four days there among the poplars and quaking (in Canada--trembling) aspens. After Fort St. John, the road took on what I call the "real feel" of what we imagined the Alaska Highway to be like--rolling grades lined with mixed conifer and deciduous forests, here a bear, there a moose, over there a coyote and way up there an eagle! The animal on the road sign seems to be a horse, but we've not seen one of those yet!

On the horizon loom the Northern Rockies, coming closer every day. Camped alongside the Sikanni River last night and saw sunrise around 4 am.
