Driving with Caribou


Left Tok at 10am this morning. It was a brisk -5 degrees.

The entire way to the Canadian border, we followed caribou! I think we saw 9 if not more... just after crossing the border and going through customs, we were greeted by a wolf!

Yes, we made it through the border if any of you were concerned, hah! They basically looked at our orders, looked at our passports and sent us on our way. I would like to think that they saw our trailer and said, uh screw that! That would have been a total nightmare if they decided to go through the trailer.

Note to people traveling through Canada in the winter: TELL YOUR BANK YOU ARE GOING TO CANADA. Our cards were declined at our first stop in Destruction Bay, and I spent 45 minutes telling them they needed to unblock our cards because we were traveling through to the lower 48. Yah, that was a nightmare.

The roads from the border to after Destruction Bay were crazy roller coaster bumps, the roads weren't  icy or snowed in, it was just bumpy. Luke said, "well thank god the trailer is on tightly!"... As if it wouldn't have been?!

I learned today that the view from the back seat... well.. it SUCKS. The window frosts over, so you can't see anything!

As for a Zoey update. I swear in the last 3 days she has grown up so much. She is crawling with her hands and knees, pulling up and pushing herself to sitting. She is also saying things like Bahbahbahbah and mouthing noises too! We had our first boo-boo last night, she pulled down a plant and hit her head she has a nice bruise on her forehead!

I think that is it for now, time to relax... onward to Muncho Lake tomorrow morning!
