On to BC and the Yukon

Well I planned that well. Instead of taking the long route following nicely paved highways and taking three days to get to Watson Lake. I took the shortcut using the notorious Liard "Hwy" it should be called Buffalo trail or something like that. But once again no traffic and awesome scenery. Hard to believe have far north you are when you are driving down this .....path.... Saw more Buffalo, killer sheep, and total arseholes. The Alaska highway lived up to its reputation as a dangerous road, not because of the road but because of the people on it. It's only two lanes, lots of gravel in construction zones, plenty of mountains, wildlife and did I Mention "arseholes" ( this was not the word I used when I encountered these choice individuals).

 The so called highway had its moments. Coming over a large hill and seeing this.

Some of the scenery along the Alaska Highway.

Mmmm. Bison burgers

Just doing the John Travolta thing from Saturday Night Fever.

Excuse me. Just 

As I passed this group a couple  got out of their RV to take a picture of another herd 200 metres down the road. The herd I had just passed were trying to catch up with the smaller herd. I warned the couple that they would soon be trapped between the two herds. Fricken granolas smiled and kept walking towards the herd. Darwin at work.

So there are lots of sheep. But people should not stop to take a picture in an 8% downhill grade especially when they are in front of me and a transport truck is behind me. I hit the brakes and the truck hit his brakes and his horn. Needless to say they accelerated quickly. I am sure that driver said more than just arseholes. I know I did.

Ok so they are cute. I should have brought one home for Elizabeth.

Yup another bull heading the other way.

Sign post forest. Google it. It's an interesting story. I stopped by to add a new sign next to the one Chloe and I put up in 2011.
