(Sikanni BC): Goal: not hit any of the wildlife. Roads better and better closer to civilization. Today had a few scary sections but the sections only last a few miles (2 to 10). As has been our pattern, we set up camp, ate dinner, checked Milepost to set a destination for tomorrow and see where the potential fuel stops would be, then fell into bed.
Other observations – more traffic today because it’s Saturday or we’re closer to the few cities up this far north. No live wildlife today, except a dead moose on the side of the road. Couldn’t tell if it died of natural causes or was hit by a vehicle. Sad that it wasn’t harvested and just left to rot.
As noted before, we are using the Milepost as our guide on this trip. It is extremely helpful in so many ways, such as knowing when a rest stop or a 'pull-out' is coming up. You definitely have to be prepared when pulling the rig off the road. There is only 1 little quirk for traveling South. You have to read it backwards – bottom right to upper left. A little like Hebrew. I think they should do like manuals in multiple languages do – Front to Back North bound; turn it over and it’s Front to Back South Bound. (Boots tore the sections out and stapled them together backwards, which helped some. We'd finish a section and toss it.)
There also seem to be more campgrounds, services, etc. for the Northbound traffic side. Hmm. Cell service is on/off again today. Not able to use my “air card” at all and camps’ WIFI is not very effective.
