No Moose
Yellow signs along Highway warn us to watch for log trucks and moose. There are LOTS of log trucks--more than I have seen anywhere--even the Oregon of my youth. But there are NO MOOSE. Here is the interesting thing about Moose--they were not in this part of Canada until the railroads arrived. The trees are too close together for the moose antlers to get through. The railroad cleared paths for them. Now there are nice clearings along the highways but no moose.
Yesterday was a fine day. We stopped (a detour) at Fort. St James Nat. Historic Site and spent a pleasant 2 hours learning about trapping and the Hudsons Bay Co. for a start. Then we found the most idyllic campsite.!! :) We were right on the lake (Lake Stuart). A beautiful sandy beach feet away. Nothing but water view out the front window. And a totally awesome sunset.
Today we are at a campsite in Smithers which is not idyllic. Smithers was a huge disappointment but we stopped here anyway. The photos are still in the camera. If I have time to download I will post some. If not--someday soon. We are headed to Hyder tomorrow.
