Since we only had a 150 mile drive today, we didn't leave Dease Lake until 10:00. Only a three hour drive – Right?? The first 15 miles wasn't bad, but the next 100 miles was frost heaved, chuckholes, and maintenance crews patching the potholes!! Our arrival time was about 2:30. We stopped several times to check the trailer and re-secure our stuff. We were glad that portion of the trip was over.
On the brighter side, though, the scenery was spectacular. The forests are pristine and have never been logged. Portions reminded us of the Lochsa River. There was a huge expanse of Lodge Pole pine forest and also sub-alpine spruce forests. All we can say is beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
Upon arrival at the Baby Nugget RV Park, we found that their WiFi was out of service and the cell phone service was about 5 miles away. Oh well...this is a remote part of the North America continent!! The park is well maintained and has all the amenities you may need: showers, laundry, car/rv wash, gift store, fuel, and a restaurant. All of the sites are pull-thru, which makes access easier.
When we left Dease Lake, the temp was 50 degrees. Baby Nugget: 80 degrees. We set up the trailer and hooked up the water and power. But...when we turned on the A/C, nothing!!! We suspect the rough road took its toll. We will have to get it fixed – probably in Whitehorse or Fairbanks (next week). At 10:30 PM it was still 84 degrees inside the trailer, but cooler outside. We left the windows and vents open all night.
Your photos look like postcards for the local Chamber of Commerce. Beautiful !
