I woke up around 5:00 this morning must have been from the mountain air, cause I know it wasn't from sleeping on a Futon I slept on. Took a stroll outside and when I came back in Big Dave woke up. We were packed and on the road by 6:00a.m. The store didn't open for breakfast until 6:30 a.m. and since fast service is not one of the things you find in Canada we figured with the folks lining up outside that it would be 9:00 a.m. We took off down the canyon and it wasn't long before came across our first bear. Farther down the road we came upon a sight we didn't care to see or experience. We found a young bull moose laying across the road. We suspect it was hit by a semi since no one else was around. The moose was still alive but it looked as though it wasn't going to be for long. It was a sad sight to see.
Later down the road we passed some caribou and there was some bighorn sheep sitting up on the sight of the mountain road.
We came down out of the mountains heading into Fort Nelson where we stopped for fuel and breakfast. Another 250 miles and we were rolling into Dawson Creek. Dave and I opted to skip spending the night there and thought we stop about half between Dawson Creek and Prince George for the night. Later that day we found there wasn't a place and ended up riding all the way to Prince George.
After a long day on the road where the morning temp of 52 degrees climbed to 95 degrees by the time we reached Dawson's Creek, we arrived in Prince George around 7:00 p.m. we were hot, tired and hungry.
