Along the Alaska Highway

So far, the Alaska Highway through British Columbia (and along the eastern edge of the Canadian Rockies) has been an interesting mix of very good road.

Another stretch, also in BC

We had heard horror stories of issues with logging trucks, but so far, the highway has mostly been ours alone. (Maybe I shouldn’t have said that).

Our drive today took us along the eastern edge of the Canadian Rockies.

We camped Monday night (8 June) at the Toad River Lodge, about 1/3 of the way along the highway. We are a day ahead of plan.

This turns out to be a very interesting spot. Our site is right along the lake, and we have a number of ducks, beaver and muskrat, and two moose, for company.
