Day 28 was another backtrack day, but we did see some
exciting stuff. About 45 minutes West of
Watson Lake we……….saw………a……… BEAR!!!!!
He was alongside the road in the ditch going the same way we were. We saw him before we got to him, and I
thought he would dive into the trees when we got there, but he didn’t. He just kept trotting along the ditch and
kept dropping his head and grabbing a mouthful of grass and kept moving while
munching on it. We took a lot of
pictures, and then I had to move up. We took
more pictures, and I had to move up. We
finally got tired of taking pictures and just watched him. I hollered at him and honked my horn, but he
did not change his actions. He just kept
moving along the road and grabbing mouthfuls of grass. We were all pretty excited and sorry that
Cathy was not there to see it. She would
have loved it. I probably would not have
been able to keep her in the truck.
I also included a picture of my progress with my beard. It has been growing for 28 days now. I still don’t really like it. It makes me look OLD!!
Tomorrow we start down a new road. We will be taking Highway 37 (Cassiar
Highway) to Highway 16 (Yellowhead Highway), then over to Prince George. From Prince George we will go East to Jasper
National Park and then down Highway 93 (Icefields Parkway). We are hoping to go by Lake Louise on a
bright sunny day. If you remember from
earlier in the trip it was raining and cloudy the day we went through there.
Everyone is having a great time, but we are all thinking it
is time to head home. I caught Mom
clicking her heel together and saying “There’s no place like home.”, over and
over. Ha Ha.

Tim is laughing at the beard. He likes that it is as gray as his. All is well here.
