People who know me know I really like cookies & pastries. :-) So far, it's been a bust. We got two rolls one day to eat the next, and they were totally stuck together so went into the garbage. Next, we bought a danish coffee cake at the bakery of the local IGA, and I didn't notice the date until I cut into it. It had been made 12 days before; needless to say, it was dry as a bone! Last night we stayed at a campground that is supposedly noted for their fantastic cinnamon buns. I was really looking forward to one this morning, but the people had to go "to town" so weren't baking today. They also didn't charge for the camping, so that was a nice thing.
We saw 10 bears last evening driving to the campground (no grizzlies yet) and 3 stone sheep and 2 moose today. Our next stop today is Liard Hot Springs, where we plan on enjoying a soak. We should be into Alaska by Saturday. Some people we've met are driven to get to Alaska right away, but we've been enjoying the beauty of Canada as part of our trip. We met a guy yesterday (Randy) from Michigan who left home Saturday morning--he was on Day 4 & we were on Day 10. He is in a bigger hurry than us. :-) He was fun to visit with though.
