A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Sorry for the delay….slow intermittent internet service and uncooperative Photobucket are to blame.

We traveled through British Columbia westward from Prince George and then north to Watson Lake, changing our planned route due to fires along the first park of the Alaskan Highway. The westward leg was pretty farm country, but not much happening. We stopped here to let Tommy and Olga catch up.


Since we hadn’t seen any wildlife, Beth resorted to taking pictures of dead butterflies in the parking lot. I’m sure she’ll have some great shots on her blog.


Approaching the Coast Mountains…we camped in a rest area with this view.


In the little village of Kitwanga we parked by an old church and tower.


And walked to a row of really old totems.


Detail of an eagle on top of one.


Tommy, Olga, and Beth Split off to tour Seward area, while Ron, Carol, and I continued north. We camped at Kinaskan Lake Provincial Park. Here’s the view from our campsite.


Roe cooled off in the water when we hiked the lake trail.


Tiny Lady Slippers, a type of orchid was growing in small patches in the cg.


There won’t be many more sunsets…this one was about 10:30 at night.


Reflections…evening


And morning…


Traveling north the next day we passed a frozen lake.


And another lake…

We camped at yet another lake…Lake Boya Provincial Park. View from the campsite. The water was a beautiful green-blue color.


Smoke from the fires to the north obscure the view of the mountains.


More reflections….


Roe and I followed another trail lined with Arctic Lupines and Aspens that climbed above the lake.


More blues…


Evidence of beavers.


Continuing north, this loon was the only wildlife.


And entered the Yukon Territory.


We met up with the others again at the Signpost Forest in Watson Lake. People post signs of their hometowns from around the world.


We didn’t post any, but saw some signs of home…




We didn’t stay in Watson Lake because the smoke was still thick, so headed west on the Alaskan Highway. Next time I have patience & connection for uploading photos on Photobucket, I’ll show you the Ykon Territory and our side trip to Skagway.

Beautiful pics, Liz, Keep it up! We are travelling right along with yall, only we ew and ah as we see the pics and yall get to see it in person

wonderful! thanks, Liz!

Just one correction that some of those who have been to AK will know - Olga, Tommy and I went another way to visit Hyder, AK - which is across the border from Stewart, Canada.

Great pics, Liz - and all different from the ones on my blog - so all of you who haven't been over there yet - make sure you're keeping up there also - Between Liz and I and the 2 places, we'll be doing our best to keeping up - as time permits.

Fantastic Liz! Thanks for hanging in there with the connection difficulties to post your pics for us!!! The different blues in the lakes just beautiful. Looking forward....

Can't wait to see the pic of the dead butterfly. Nice shot of Beth, too!

sheila

Beautiful photo's Liz! What you did not find my name sign up at Watson Lake lol me and a million other people posted one up there.Isn't that area just grand, makes me want to go back!!

Love the pictures - especially the "reflections" ones. Aren't the lakes a beautiful color. Don't worry about washing your rig - it will just get dirty again. Be sure to keep everything closed tight if going through road construction as the very fine dust gets in everything. (posted picture of our car in Barbzeees morning coffee post.)
Glad your having such a great time. We all envy you.
