Mucho lake and Sikanni River

We left Teslin, YU in a drizzly rain that lasted most of the morning. We were planning to stop at Watson Lake for some souvenirs. The store didn't open until noon so we fixed lunch in front of the library. Leigh and Marilyn went shopping at the variety store and then the grocery store. We were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the grocery store was.
We were fortunate to see a couple of herds of wood bison right off the road and a black bear went scurrying across the highway as well.
We stayed at Muncho Lake RV park that was right on the lake which backed up to a huge mountain. A float seaplane took off from the neighboring RV park in front of our park


The highlight of the morning after leaving Muncho Lake was seeing a family of Stone sheep alongside the highway. They are brown in color and even though they are part of the mountain sheep family, they strongly resemble a mountain goat. They let us photograph them and then quickly scurried off the roadside.


We traveled over more twisty, curvy, newly graveled roads and later in the morning when stopping for a break and leg stretch was the dripping of antifreeze from the back of the Howard's motorhome! Since being warned from the beginning of our trip about rocks and radiators, we knew this wasn't a good sign. We were about 60 kilometers from Fort Nelson, so Herb got there as quickly as he could. We were directed to the radiator shop and sure enough - a rock through the radiator. We purchased Wayne's Leak Stop and antifreeze and back on the road where we headed to our nights lodging at Sikanni River RV park.
We had a wonderful pork chop dinner and it was a great way to celebrate Herb and Leigh's anniversary. It is getting warmer and after three weeks it looks like we can all start wearing shorts again!
