We left home on June 13 to drive up to the Yukon and take the Dempster Highway to the Arctic Ocean in Tuktoyuktak, NWT.
But first we had a lot of driving to do. Generally we try to avoid driving more than 3 or 4 hours (Google Maps time, it takes a lot longer in real time) but we have a lot of ground to cover so the first 2 days were big driving days. Cr
Leo had done a bunch of prep prior to leaving including sealing the truck canopy from dust and getting a hitch welded to the trailer to hold our ebikes.
Alas it became apparent soon after we left home that the bikes were too heavy for our trailer, affecting its stability so we turned back 20 minutes out of town and dropped them off at home.
After that delay we drove north to Prince George and on up through the Pine Pass.
Our travelling companions, Mark and Leah, saw four black bears on the drive, we only spotted one.
We arrived at Moberly Lake around 6 pm. It was Saturday so the park was busy with families enjoying the warm, sunny weather.
Bird of the day was the black-throated green warbler, heard but not seen, but it still rates because we were now east of the Rocky Mountains and we don't see them in most of British Columbia.
