2,454.7 MILES DONE! World's Longest Driveway!

Reverse Migration part I is done and we are now in Montana for part of our summer.  We had a great trip south.  Each day the world turned greener with brighter colors as we slowly drove south.  The Yukon was as magnificent as ever with its huge vast valleys, broad mountains, and long ridges.  The fires from last summer have left its scars on the landscape.  British Columbia to suffered with fires last August as we headed north and now one can see the vast areas these fires burned.
The trip was a bit wet in BC.  Overall an excellent drive south on the Cassiar Highway.  Home is home no matter what!  We are so fortunate to be able to call two wonderful places home!  Each place is vastly different from each other but both are home for us in unique ways.

I always look forward to the drive south as the nights finally turn dark again!  I can see the stars which I just love.  I find it a bit unsettling to not see the night sky up north.  Going to bed in full daylight and waking up during the night and morning to full daylight is uncomfortable for me.  It took me years of living in Alaska to pinpoint this aspect of life south of the arctic circle.  I use the Star Walk 2 App and I also have Star Walk the original App for viewing the night sky.

Morning yoga on Kinaskan Lake Provincial Park.

A much-needed knitting break at Meziadin Lake Provincial Park. That Snow Ghost hat is off the needles too!

One of my claims to fame is Jiffy Pop PopCorn---the secret is a leather glove and vice grips.

Miss Tally LOVES tent time!  No bugs inside the tent chewing up her thin skin!

Miss Sadie is a tent fan as well and loves her key position between us!

Bear Glacier on the way to Stewart, AK.  A nice short side trip as we headed south.

Stewart, AK a fun rig I am sure was once used for mining.

The following photos are from Fraser Lake campground.  I loved the outdoor fitness equipment. I would love to have them in a park where I live for a nice outdoor workout!

Ancient Forest outside of McBride BC.  We often stop here for a nice walk and a break from driving.  

Cedar tree ring/circle I sent a message of peace and good health out to all from the middle of this circle.  I was surrounded by several 1,000s of years of tree growth in the middle of this circle.

Mount Robson blanketed in a nice fresh layer of snow at Mount Robson Provincial Park.

Dinner by chef Christian!

Jasper Park has a no open fires this year in early May!  Yikes!  They have so much beetle kill they had to instate the no open fire law. While there were open sites at our favorite Ice Fields campground we had to move on to Rampart Creek Campground in Banff which one can have a fire.  This is a great site right on the river!

Closing in on the top of my hat!
