We spent the night in a "Litter Barrel" turnout. It was not too bad especially if compared to the night before when we stayed in a campground and someone's security alarm kept going off. We only had 1 truck pull in and he shut it down quickly. It did rain all night so we were wondering if our rig would float… fortunately, it didn't come to that. Weather was different as the temp dropped to 34 degrees and we were in a snow storm as we passed by Summit Lake. The snow didn't stay on the road but it was in the bush for a while. It continued to rain until about 2:00 PM.
We also learned that when a sign states "watch out for falling rocks", you had better pay attention. We saw one large rock (about 5 foot around) sitting right in the middle of the road. There were also lots of smaller rocks along the way too.
Another thing we learned today… what the sign "loose gravel" means. It means that the chip-seal road has been badly torn up and repaired with lose gravel. It wasn't even packed down or had oil/tar sprayed on it.
All in all the roads have been pretty good but it is always a surprise to open the trailer door to see what we have shaken loose that day… so far, no messes just a couple of cans.

Internet access and phone service has not been too reliable but what would you expect when the satellite radio can't even pick up a signal and we aren't even out of BC yet
.
Today must have been animal day… maybe they were getting ready for the weekend gawkers and were practicing today. We did see a whitetail deer, moose calf, a moose cow, a stone sheep, and some buffalo. It was great to see all the animals in their natural habitat.
Tomorrow, it is northward again but not sure to where.
Did you know? Black Bears must consume 20,000 calories per day prior to hibernation.
Keep your loops open till next time.
