Yellowknife to Blackstone Territorial Park on the Liard "Hwy"

Left Yellowknife in the wee hours of the morning ready for an exciting drive back down the Yellowknife Hwy, Mackenzie Hwy and then the Liard so called highway. The Yellowknife highway had no traffic. Over 320 km and I passed 10 vehicles. Saw lots of wood Buffalo from the Mackenzie herd. You must be getting sick of seeing Buffalo pictures. I did see a bear but he was shy and hit the bush before I could come to a screeching halt. The pictures below show the bridge over the Mackenzie River a major engineering feat (not often do I compliment engineers but in this case it is well deserved).

My poor truck took a major dust ate on the drive to the park and I thought it was sealed up pretty tightly. There is even dust all over the interior.

This is the view from my campsite at Blackstone. Pretty sweet  eh!

That's Nahanini butte in the distance and the river is call the Liard River.

The face of an unhappy fisherman. The River was too high and muddy due to all the rain.

The campsite for the evening. Grilled a nice steak over that fire. Just as I finished up some major thunderstorms hit. Holy crap batman is it ever loud in the river valley. But I was warm and cozy in my super truck tent.
