We woke up this morning a little colder than we would have liked, and uncomfortable... Have to sort out the pillow situation. We were up at 6 and packed up and on our way by 7:20. The clouds soon parted and the glorious sunshine appeared and would stay with us all day. At these latitudes the morning and evening sun seem to last forever, making for some great photography. We soon came across a herd of buffalo (first sighting of the trip even thou we have been seeing signs for them since fort smith. They were totally agree and unmoved by our presence so we were able to hang out and take a bunch of shots in the morning light. I was even up on the roof of the jeep, (felt like a true safari). We saw a few more herds today as well as a few more moose.
We had a peaceful drive up to Watson Lake, there really is no traffic up here this time of year. The odd semi or pickup but other than that we are on our own. We made it into Watson Lake around 10:30, and filled up with gas and tightened up the bolts on the roof rack (it was starting to rattle loose). Before leaving Watson Lake we stopped for a photo shoot at the "sign post forest".
Then we finally started up the Robert Cambell Highway! This one of the things on Sam and I's checklist of things to accomplish on this trip.
We are about to lose reception so I am ending this one here and will finish it off when we get service again.

Awesome pics guys. Love the fox. Scenery looks amazing - and I thought it would be just ice! Jeep looks good Samuelo! Glad you got the red one - it photographs well! Not much new here. Off to Chile, Peru, Argentina next week, so will follow you from there. xox Sarah
ReplyDeleteWow guys your haveing a awesome ride. How your heater working in those cold temps? Give us some data that would be (cool) LOL. Looks like you preped good for for trip, did you find anything thing that you forgot on your trip? Being from Colorado I've done some ice climbing and snow camping and I know getting out of the sleeping bag in the mourning can really suck or worst of all haveing to get up in the middle of the night to take a leak. Have a safe trip and enjoy.
