I can't remember any particular event, BUT we saw so many animals, it was like we were at the zoo! (Except, we were in the enclosure and they were running (walking, pacing, meandering) wild). We did a tally at the end of the trip (when we arrived at Calgary) of everything we saw that trip, but this particular leg of the trip, we saw 2 black bear, a bunch of buffalo (including one with her baby), an eagle, and a deer.
I vaguely remember talking with Shannan about going to "the Hotsprings", but I'd forgotten until just now, but at Mile Post 496 is the Liards River Hotsprings Provincial Park... Wonder why we didn't go. The website says: "Relaxation seeps into your body as you ease into the second largest hot spring in Canada..." This seems like a good place to stop!! It's open year round, and the water temperatures are 42° C to 52° C.
I had that same thought about the Northern Rockies Lodge, on Muncho Lake, Mile Post 462. We loved it there! But, can't figure out how we can get back, without driving....
There's an RV park, a bunch of cabins, and a hotel/lodge. (AND the hotel is pet-friendly, which is important, when travelling with puppies!)
However, the Schildknecht family, who own and operate the Lodge, know their spaetzle, and schnitzel, and - I can't remember what's on my plate, and I can't find it a menu on-line, but it looks like... stroganoff... what's the German equivalent of stroganoff? I am going to send my picture to them and ask. (Interestingly, when I Google "German stroganoff", the first page all includes "stroganoff and spaetzle". I guess that's what I had. It was yummy!)
The Lodge is right on Muncho Lake, which is a crystal clear 12 km long lake, within the Muncho Lake Provincial Park. ("Muncho" means "Big Water" in the Kaska language.
Beautiful setting, comfortable rooms, delicious food, and gracious hosts - if only I could get back there!!!
