Day 10 - Ft. Nelson, BC

Day 10 - June 25, 2013, 183.0 miles travelled, Temp is all over the place

Crappy weather, but plodded along. Left Ft. Nelson in the rain at 10 o/c; I wasn't alone, several others, going home to Mexico, were waiting for a break, howver it was time to check out. 

I got to see a Mountain Goat grazing on side of the road. Other than a few deer, this is the first of what I hope will be many wild animals.

When you see those "Falling Stone" signs on the side of the road, pay heed to the warning: a giant beach ball sized speciman came crashing down within feet of me while I was in a turn during a driving downpour. This could had been a game of candlepin for mother nature, but I got through unscatherd - I won, however I now really need to do laundry.

Made it to Liard Hot Springs, just set up the tent in time to jump in. Laying there for 1.5 hours I waited for this ground shacking storm to quit. When it did a fellow named Ken from Michigan stopped by to tell me all about his motorcycle experiences and another fellow Brian travelling on a bikesimiliar to mine.

I grabbed my bathing suit and towel and hiked to the hot bath. WOW!, BC goverment really puts a lot of effort into their facilities.

After a bite to eat, I walked the campground and noted three other motorcyclist setting up camp. One bike was packed like mine, same bike, and I asked if he was Brian and if he knew Ken. The connection was made; Larry and his son Grady introduced themselves, and the stories rolled...

Brian, Grady, and his father Larry

Went back up for one last dip in the hot spring before rtiring for evening.

Tomorrow, Whitehorse, YT...
