The next two days were driving days. On our drive from Boya Lake to Meziadin Lake Provincial Park we saw 8 bears along the side of the highways, mostly mama's and Cubs feasting on clover. There was some concern about gassing up with a trailer in tow and most of the first nations communities closed to visitors, but in the end it was no problem getting to Dease Lake and then to Bell II. It turned out the Iskut gas station was open even though there were barriers on the roads leading off from the highway.
Meziadin Lake where we camped was busy but not full, we found a spot for the 3 of us together at the very top, furthest away from the lake.
The next day we saw 3 more bears and a coyote. We stopped in New Hazelton to use the sanidump at the info centre and picked up bread and pastries at the excellent Skeena Bakery, where they train people with disabilities.
We stopped one more time at Moricetown (oops, they're called Witset now) for a group photo before we parted ways.
What an interesting trip and great photos! I've really enjoyed following along each day.
