This is actually yesterday's blog (Saturday, June 22) I am doing this morning.  For some reason last night I couldn't get the internet up but this morning it came right up.  We drove from Toad River to Fort St. John yesterday.  The roads continue to be much better, however, we are getting into more traffic.  We are so used to being the only vehicle on the road it is a little strange to see other vehicles.  We saw bears yesterday - we saw a momma and two cubs playing.  They were so cute one of them was trying to climb up a tree and kept falling off.  Wayne tried to take a picture but we were too far away and the pictures didn't turn out so well.  We also saw lots of mountain sheep with babies, a porcupine and another moose.  We are staying at a Rotarian RV park and it is pretty nice.  It is gated from 10 p.m. till 7 a.m. and you can't get in or out during those hours.  We went to a pub last night for dinner and they were, of course, watching the Stanley Cup.  Wayne and I were having a hard time just figuring out who was playing.  I have been keeping track of the Diamondbacks through the internet and they are doing great.  We are missing some really good games.

Today we will finish backtracking and start traveling down some new roads.  When we came we came up through south Alberta (which we heard yesterday is having some flooding and the highway we were on was closed).  We are going back through Winnipeg so we now start going east instead of south.  Our goal today is to get to Edmonton, Alberta (more north).  Alberta doesn't have the gas tax that BC has so our fuel will be a little cheaper.  We are excited to see some new territory.
I will have to post pictures tomorrow as they don't seem to be working today.
