Another awesome highway section led us to the lunch
Time Control at the northern rockies lodge for steaming
bowls of goulash and a chance to sit on the porch and drink
in the surroundings. Then it was along the banks of the
liard river to Muncho lake, through the provincial park and
past the folded Mountain, down to the third and final Test
around Mcdonald Creek. This was undoubtedly the best of
the day, with enough changes of direction, loose gravel and
chicanes to make everyone feel like a rally champion.
when we finally rejoined the main road warning signs
asked us to look out for wildlife. Some of us were lucky
enough to see a family of bears ambling through the
bushes as we dropped towards fort nelson alongside the
Tetsa and the Muskwa rivers.
After a late night yesterday the sweeps had a fairly light
day with only a few minor issues. Ivan pusnik and Boris
Gruzman’s Saab had a coolant leak that needed plugging,
Mike and lorna Harrison’s Volvo had a window needing
some attention and the headlamp switch on philip and
lyndy Blunden’s Holden wanted soldering back together.
There’s a feeling that we’re coming out of the wilderness
now. The woodlands Inn and Suites in fort nelson, our host
this evening, did an excellent job of looking after us with
great food, well-stocked bar and a functioning laundromat!
