Our travelling companion, Cassie, was just 5 months old when we left last July. Her home has been either the truck or the trailer. Our travel days were usually about seven to eight hours and she just curled up in her bed between us in the front seat Just getting out every two hours or so for a quick break.
It is impossible to say what our favourite things were on the journey as we loved everything about it. Our amazing country is so vast and the scenery ranges from beautiful to spectacular to breathtaking. The natural wildlife we saw was far more than we had hoped for. We saw so many Black Bears along the highways we found ourselves saying, "Oh it's just a bear", when we would see an animal up ahead. The thousands of lakes and rivers and the Yukon River in particular, were all so picturesque. The day we took the mail boat from Port Alberni out to Bamfield on the Pacific Ocean and saw the many Orca whales was very special. We also met so many wonderful and interesting people such as the old minister and his wife at a church in Dawson City, in the Yukon.
My only regret is that I did not have a better camera.
Will there be another trip? Only time will tell............
If there are no more trips we should not be too disappointed, as we have been so very fortunate to have enjoyed countless wonderful trips in our 53 years.
