Roads & Driving

 So, what are the road conditions. Well, first of all, lot of the highways is chip seal process. This is the least expensive of the 2, and will last the same as asphalt. 

But, it creates dust and bumpy roads. Other highways are a mixer of other types. So, what can you do to ensure a safe journeys.

Most of it is just common sense that's it's. Other is looking ahead, seeing what the vehicle in front of you is doing. 

Watch for the road signs, as is the most common way to avoid issues. Don't be afraid of using the opposite lane are even splitting the 2 lanes. Especially since you are alone on the road.

Now what are some of the other things you can do. The biggest is just slow down. When we came into Iskut, which is 210 from Watson Lake (end), and 250 miles from Kitwanga (start). Susan had been driving. She started the drive in the morning from Meziadin Provincial park. The images below are from that section of highway north of Iskut. Don't be afraid to drive less then 40mph or even less then 20mph, due to road conditions. 

Now along with roads - are some of the rest stops, especially along the Cassiar Hwy. Be prepared to pull over. Relax and even spend the night. Don't be worried about spending the night, many people do it and some even enjoy it.

Last but not least is, when you get behind someone, pay attention to what they do. As you can see in the video.

Finally, go online, and check road conditions, download the apps and even use Facebook groups.

Well, Bet you didn't think you hear from us so soon

 The Advent of Starlink is just getting better and better. Just north of Dease Lake.  Here we are, on a pullout on the Cassiar Hwy, next to the Dease river. 

N58.850228, W130.0439278

We are all setup. Like my belief in the Mile Post - Great Views. Right. But dale look at the photos you took.

Yet Dakota and I did manage to get down to the river, however, the trail is no longer any good for walking. Trees and bushes are very overgrown and the trail is gone. But we did manage to go and get a few shots. 

So, what is the topic for today. Well how about the Cassiar Highway itself. We left Meziadin Provincial Park at 8:30. So the photos I am going to show you are the road itself. Very little description will be required, as you will see.

As truly wonderful the Cassiar Hwy is, and the landscape is today, truly a wilderness. An example, we read about the mountain sheep. They roll themselves in a rust color dust. They come out looking like an orange to red sheep. The advertisers  talk them up in brochures. However they do not tell you, unless you are a hunter, willing to go far back into the wilderness you will never see on. Much less there is no road to take back into the wilderness.

anyway, the photos, start just outside of the Meziadin Provincial park, and go north to Dease lake. You truly see the beauty of the area. I have other photos along the highway to show you.

But First a question: How Do You Know That a Bear Shits in the Forest/Woods ?
