local put in an appearance. I am not sure where he had been or what mischief he had wrought but from his nose to the white tip on his tail this fox was master of all he surveyed as he trotted across the lake front camp sites.
Cassiar Highway
The first few miles were very slow going and our hearts sank as more and more pot holed gravel surfaced sections appeared. Averaging 20 mph for the next 500 miles was not at all appealing. But after 50 miles things got better and we were bolwing along again.
We have been finding the state camp sites to be very quiet but got a shock on the Cassiar. It may have been that it was a major holiday weekend commemorating the anniversary of the discovery of gold in Bonanza Creek in the 19th century but for whatever reason we squeaked in to one of the last spots at lake Boya.
But it was green gold at our next stop
and Carol was soon checking out the carvings on offer. Jade City has 12 inhabitants and we drove very carefully as one accident could cause a population crash.Oh, buy the way,
anyone want to buy a ton or two of jade?

The campground at Medziadin Lake is great. Beautiful scenery. The road from Dease Lake to the south is pretty good also. Don't believe all the rumours you here. There is only about 3 miles of gravel south of Dease where you cross the Stikine River and after that it is clear sailing south.
