YUKON and NORTHWEST TERRITORIES

Boya Lake is now called Ta Ch'il a (with a line over top of the a) Provincial Park. Gotta get the spelling right or someone is going to be offended I'm sure. (So on that note, if your offended, unfriend me.) In future posts, there are spellings this keyboard is not capable of spelling, so I may rely on the english spelling instead of the "Indigenous spelling". This provincial park is absolutely beautiful and scenic. There are 2 short walking trails with interpretive panels. Easy trails for walking.  The view with our door being open click on to orient where we are We left the next day for the Yukon this is the junction between hwy 37, and the infamous Alaska Hwy. Going to Teslin today  these falls are a short boardwalk in and very nice. Its only a short walk and nice leg stretch. back on the road some road work here but what a nice river My new t-shirt..love it We only spent 1 night here. Left the next morning for Carcross, Yukon. At the RV/Store/Museum were the cheap...

Take a look at this map to see where we are. We are still on Hwy 37 going north. Our campsite. It was rather cold but what a lovely spot. I highly recommend this Campground. We spent 1 night here then drove on to Boya Lake Campground. On the way there, we stopped at Jade City. There used to be a reality TV series called Jade city. This is a pretty unique stop. You can see the different grades of Jade, great gift shop, and free coffee 😀 Lots of crafts are made from this Jade. Rumor has it that the Chinese Jade is inferior to BC Jade and consequently they buy a lot here. Having said that, the best jade in the world comes from Maynmar   

  After leaving Prince Rupert, we headed up the Stewart/Cassiar, hwy 37, continuing our way..to Tuk. We stayed at a campground in Kitwanga and lo and behold, it just happened to be next door to my friend Karen Peters home.  Karen in her new home ..work in progress We spent the night at the campground Kitwanga River RV Campground. Great place if you are ever travelling through. We left the next morning for Meziadan Lake Provincial Park Campground. Its a beautiful place to camp. This momma black bear, had triplets. Now you don't see that every day. Taken through the windshield for obvious reasons. We figure these little guys couldn't be much more than a few weeks old   Click on these photos to see them better Yes, yes it is bloody cold Off to Boya Lake tomorrow

FISHING IN PRINCE RUPERT Nels, Kayl, Steve and I arrived in Prince Rupert, BC on July 4th for 2 days of fishing. The weather was nice and we are all pumped. Kayl had never been ocean fishing, so she was quite excited and we were excited for her. She has fished the lakes with her Dad ..and out fished him. We are meeting our friend and captain Jim Lancaster at 5:45am. Click on the photos to see them larger. The table is set. Let the fishing begin Above: Our campsite    Below: what it looks like at 5:45am  This is Jim, our captain and friend. "He who scoops the fish out of the water and cleans the fish and drives the boat and changes the lures." The crab traps will be dropped in the morning and picked up on our way in at the end of the day. Steve, Nels, Jim and Kayl This is approximately where we will drop the crab traps Metlakatla Village community, located 5 km north of Prince Rupert.
