Teresa's "Not-So-Daily" Diary

Teresa's Daily diary of Teresa and Andrew's travels. This blog is targeted at a general audience who is interested in our day-to-day happenings. As the traveling slowed down, so did the blog entries.

24 Aug 2006 Thursday

The sun is shining this morning and Lene has a great breakfast for us with fresh fruit, egg dish and scones, and of course, coffee and tea.  We chatted with Lene for for quite a while and showed her a few things on the computer.  We had to go out and talk with her white German Shepard, Misty.  We had to hit the road, but first, we got supplies at "The Real Canadian Superstore".  This looks a lot like a Wal-Mart, but Whitehorse has a Wal-Mart on the other side of town.  The Real Canadian Superstore was the first real grocery store we'd seen in weeks!  It was tough not to buy everything!  We stocked up on several canned goods to get us thru the next few small towns, but we also got some fresh fruit and a nice fresh trout fillet for dinner tonight.  We stuffed all the food into the truck and headed out of Whitehorse.  

We drove thru more beautiful Canadian scenery and stopped for dinner at a campground.  Canada has government run campgrounds that typically have a covered picnic shelter.  We've used the picnic shelter a few times for dinner out of the rain.  It wasn't raining when we stopped for dinner tonight, but it was by the time we left.  Yes, more rain (heavy sigh).  

We drove for a few more hours and went to find a campsite.  We drove up the access road to a microwave tower and found a great campsite where someone had left some bones.  We pulled in and saw the backbone of a large animal, probably a moose.  We didn't want to camp with bear bait, so we kept going,  We found a pull off with a sign; "Notice: You are welcome to camp here.  Be sure to remove all garbage and hunting scraps... Garbage can attract grizzly bears and make it more dangerous for others utilizing the area."  We had permission to camp here.  And it's raining again.
