Barefooting up the Alaska Highway

BAREFOOTING Travel where the journey is as important as the destination

Friday June the 20th We are at Fort Nelson with 300 miles done and 1253 to go.
The sun is shining
and the living is easy. We spent last night at a little BC provincial park beside the river. Far enough away from the road to have perfect peace. As we are near the summer solstice it is noticeable that there is no longer a real night, just a couple of hours twilight from 11.00 to 1.00 then it starts getting brighter.

We are a little disappointed with the absence of wildlife. We have seen no deer, caribou or elk and our bear count still stands at three, all seen before we hit the Alaska Highway.

Charro is fine and managed quite a long walk this morning. This is relative to a couple of weeks ago when he was unable to manage 20 yards and that only with several stops.

We will look in at a First Nation celebration tomorrow here in Fort Nelson before barefooting North to the hot springs at Liard River.

UGH Just cleaned the windscreens. What a mess, we had the red ones, the green ones, the yellow ones and the most gross of all the purple ones with yellow bits. We had crunchy ones, runny ones and the crunchy runny yellow purple ones. We may have seen no macro wildlife on the highway so far but lots of micro life has met it's end on the front of the Trek.
