Day 3... 

Well the trip has been going great!  We only made it to a very small dot on the map last night - without sleep the night before, I couldn't go as far as I wanted so we stopped in Teslin.   A tiny town with a long bridge and 2 hotels.  Yup that's it.  We were very grateful to have found the room, nicely redone in the last 2 months.  I fell asleep after we ate dinner around 11.  Then awoke to a DV going on outside our window.  Great - a DV in the middle of nowhere - wonder how long RCMP could get there before someone gets hurt???  Oh well to say the least we took turns sleeping til they quieted down.  Got up early and got on the road.  The weather was great til right after Fort Nelson - then it was like the gods awoke and were very angry - lightening, heavy rains, high winds,  OMG guess we cant do 70 mph as they say we can.  Drove to Fort St. John - almost 700 miles today - not too bad considering the long, curvy, mile long drop offs with jersey barriers that are shorter than my tires.  We figured that if something went wrong and I hit one it would catapult us over the wall - never damaging the wall - and leave us flying for about 3-4 miles down - til we hit the bottom.  Needless to say I drove in the middle of the road as much as possible.  We saw lots of wildlife today - bison, moose, deer, 3 brown bears playing, a few black bears, rabbits.  The poor dog almost jumped out of the window trying to get the bison.  Well off to sleep, gotta get another tarp - those winds tore through the one on the truck.  Guess we are truly Alaskan - we are trying to see how many tarps we can get on the truck before we pull into my Moms.  Kinda reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies!!!  Miss everyone!!
