I'm staying at the Bell 2 Lodge about 300 miles south of Watson Lake on Hwy 37, the Cassiar Highway. Right in the middle of nowhere. I had stayed here when I made the trip to Alaska in 2010, and they've really upgraded the place...and the prices. Anyway, it's very nice and a godsend.
I had cloudy skies but no rain when I left Watson Lake this morning, but that didn't last long. I has rained cats and dogs the whole way down. Temperatures in the 50's and steady rain. I'm beginning to think that it's a little wet up here.
I couldn't get a lot of shots of the scenery, but here are the few I did get:
This is the Cassiar Highway. Back in West Virginia, we'd call it a turnpike.
And some more along the way:
Did get a couple pictures of the Bell 2 Lodge later in he evening:
Hoping for a drier day tomorrow. Headed further south on the Cassiar Hwy to Smithers, BC for the night. Hope you're enjoying the pictures.
