| We saw lots and lots of wildlife, but this herd of buffalo was probably the closest. We saw caribou today, too, but they cleared out before we could snap a picture. I think they sensed that we had eaten a Caribou Burger a couple days before. (Incidentally, it was VERY tasty, and I highly recommend trying it if you get the chance.) |
| This big herd was standing right next to the road, completely ignoring us. Mike was sitting right next to me, completely ignoring them. (I guess you become immune to the cuteness of big, smelly, hairy animals when you grow up in South Dakota, but not me! I'm married to one!) |
| Muncho Lake, British Columbia. (Photo courtesy of The Pokey Little Puppy - That speck off in the distance is me.) |
| This lake was just as still as Boya Lake, but the water was a deep turquoise. It also made for beautiful pictures, and I'm sure sunset is truly a sight to behold. Maybe on the next trip... |
| This big fella was standing right in the middle of the road (which had again turned to dirt, but nowhere near as bad as the Dempster). He and his kin folk like to eat the seeds and things that are easy pickin's on the road, and they really don't care how many people honk at them while they do it. |
| A little bit of rain, but hey - it's no big thing. A thousand miles of dirt road tends to toughen you up a little bit. |
| Look! A Bear! |
| Seriously. Here's the story: For the second time on our trip, we saw a black bear cruising around next to the road. Another car had also stopped to take pictures, but we weren't fast enough - he slipped back into the woods before we got the picture. I hollered back to Mike in my best redneck drawl, "Hey, Baby! Ya'll want me to run into them woods and flush 'im out sos you can git yer picture?" The guy in the car looked simoltaneously disturbed, repulsed, and almost... hopeful. I don't think I'd laughed as hard since we saw the giant mutant hopping beaver by Boya Lake. |
