Today was a spectacular day, the sun was shining, and it was really hot.

Our first stop was the liard hot springs. It was only $5 each. The entire complex was surrounded by electric fence to keep the bears from sneaking in for a midnight dip. We still took our bear spray.

It was a ten minute walk along a boardwalk and it was absolutely stunning. We arrived at the pools and they were gorgeous in a natural setting. They had two pools next to each other. One was super hot and the other was just right!

After our swim, we continued driving the Alaska highway and it was an incredible drive. We saw six bears today, the first ones we’d seen in months!

We drove past Muncho lake which is a big lake with beautiful green water. We tried to get a paid camping spot beside the lake but they were all taken.

We continued driving until we found a wonderful free campsite beside a river, even more beautiful than the paid sites at muncho lake. We sat beside the river (with our bear spray, and watched the river flow by.

We spent 3 days here while we cleaned the dust out of our van and did some minor repair s.
