8-17-09 Muncho Lake, B.C.

8-17-09: We awoke to rain again; a rain cloud must be following the Paterson clan. A full day of driving took us from Whitehorse, past Watson Lake, to Muncho Lake, B.C. (about 3 hrs west of Ft. Nelson). We rented a cabin at Northern Rockies Lodge; good thing because the rain was still a constant companion.

P.S. During our drive on the Alaska hwy, we saw a sign to watch for buffalo on the road. We saw a total of 20-25 buffaloes or wood bison. Wood bison are a threatened species in B.C.; only 250 live in this area and 20 are killed in vehicle collisions yearly. We also were lucky to see a sow bear and 2 cubs cross the hwy today too.
