It was a rainy day for most of the drive south...
Still beautiful scenery though...
Teslin Lake...
We crossed over Nisutlin Bay after going through the village of Teslin...
Little bits of blue were trying to make their way through the thick cloud...
About 21 kms/13 miles before Watson Lake, we came to the junction with highway 37. Goodbye Alaska Highway...we turned right (south) onto the Stewart-Cassiar Highway...
After a few minutes on this highway we were concerned that we had made a bad decision taking this route. It was paved with short bits of gravel but very lumpy and bumpy. Oh well...we're on it now!
Blue River...
We travelled for miles through a large burn area...
It took us about an extra half hour longer than it was supposed to, by the time we arrived at Boya Lake Provincial Park. It was 3:15 and we had driven about 500 kms/311 miles in 7 hours (including rest breaks)...but we made it to our destination. Not sure of what to expect in the campground (we hate not knowing what we are getting ourselves into), we pulled over at the turnoff to the park. We were going to walk in and take a look first...until we saw the sign that said it was 2 kms to the campground. Okay then...I guess we will drive in.
We found a site right on the lake that would fit us perfectly...and it would be a fairly easy back in, as well...bonus! There was another whole loop so we thought we would take a drive through it before deciding on this site. Finding nothing that we liked better, we went back to the original site and had no problem with backing in...gotta like sites on a curve in the road.
A panorama shot of our view...
Cubby of Grouse passing through...
Boy that highway sure looked lonely...not another vehicle anywhere?!?! Love the photo of Steve enjoying his lake front chair and the rainbow is amazing!!!
