"Off the Grid” Tonight

(This post is from yesterday - 6/16 due to no wifi)

We had a nice sunny day for driving.

We stopped for a morning treat at the Testa River Services which claims to be “the Cinnamom Bun Center of the Galactic Cluster. We decided not to wait their 30-40 minutes for the next batch, even though they are the size of salad plates. Instead we finished off some day (or two) old Tim Bits.

Today we saw bears, mountain sheep, buffalo (a herd of them), and rabbits. Here are some of the pictures we got.  A herd of buffalo was just laying along the highway here.

We pulled into the Liard River Hotsprings Provincial Park around 2:30. It was still sunny and 75 degrees so we decided to walk to the hot springs and experience those. It was a nice walk. The hot springs smelled a bit of the sulfur and Paige didn’t like that smell. But we both went in the springs and enjoyed the warm, relaxing water.
We spent the later afternoon and evening at the motorhome just relaxing. Rain started about 6 and has continued. At this campground in the mountains, we have no TV, radio, electricity, or water. No cell phones or Internet either, so we’re forced to have a quiet evening and have been reading our Nooks.
