It's Still Light at Midnight!

We enjoyed the Liard Hot Springs Provincial Park so much that we decided to stay another day. Colin said he needed some time to finish his GST and taxes, Margaret wanted to sew a bed for Splash and Zaphod wanted to go hiking and swimming. We found a couple of walking trails and took Zaph for his promised walk and swim. The trails both led to waterfalls so that gave us goals. We also tested our bug jackets (Kathleen: we bought some before we left Burlington!) -- and with the aid of a few thousand mosquitos (at least it seemed liked it) we decided that the jackets worked and are now classified as a necessity for travelling up here. We went to the hot springs 3 times today and enjoyed each outing. The last one was at 10:30pm --- still bright enough to walk the kilometer to the hot spring --- still bright enough at midnight when we returned. I thing we are in the land of the midnight sun and it's not even summer soltice yet! These light evenings really mess with your mind .... I keep thinking that I have hours before I need to go to bed.


Zaphod having a wonderful time


those mean old bugs won't get me now!


The only suspension bridge left on the Alaska Highway


Another hour and a few carrots and we'll have Colin-Ed Stew!
