Liard Hot Springs

Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park is a unique park located in B.C. north of Muncho Lake (which still frozen). The park has many sites all located in a beautiful forest with the main attraction being two large pools created by a hot spring cascading from the mountain in a geological formation called tufas. Daria and I were able to enjoy this relaxing setting a couple of times also meeting some interesting people including "full time" RV folks, German tourists and local people willing to share their knowledge of the area. The springs also "helped" to provide much needed ablutions as we had not showered for a couple of days!!

We left early this morning heading towards Watson Lake in the Yukon and had some nice sightings of black bear, a fox carrying "breakfast" and several bisons. Very relaxing drive with virtually nobody in the road. Tonight we are catching up on laundry, showers, wireless connection and the various sanitary chores therefore, we had to settled for an RV park right in the middle of Watson Lake but the hot showers  and really made up for the less than scenic location. Tomorrow, we are heading to Teslin still in the Yukon with another stop before we cross briefly into Alaska at Haines and then returning to the Yukon for a few more stops leading to Alaska for our date with Denali and Mount McKinley on June 1.

So we have done 3,758 miles which according to my plan is about 38% of the adventure but of course it all depends how many "side" trips Daria has in mind.
