Day 28

Ok so we check out of the motel after paying almost what she budgeted for two nights and head south, back towards Fort Providence where we could connect to go across NT. However, it was not highly recommended to do that - about 500 kms on dirt road and probably a lost windshield, at least, so we headed back south to Alberta. We continued south to Peace River - another 12 hour day!
Thankfully, the roads are pretty good; the worst was between Rae and Yellowknife. There are a lot of what she calls frost heaves but not much traffic. At times you wish for a vehicle just so you know you are not alone on this earth! Well, we know there are bison, even when you don't see them, you see their "calling cards" along the highway. We did see one small herd today and there were 4 at the boat dock to say goodbye.
We saw a few bison "swimming" like I do but they were doing it in mud - maybe I should try that.
We saw lots of these pink flowers, some seem to grow right out of the rocks. We saw some birds that may have been grouse; otherwise just crows and gulls.
Two long days and one night equal our experience with the Northwest Territories - if there is a next time it will be with a RV or truck and 5th wheel. Actually, there was a family with a truck and 5th wheel on the boat (maybe a 12 vehicles) and we both ended up stopping at a rest point late in the afternnon after over 500kms. Also, on the boat was a car from Nova Scotia but we didn't know until they passed us later. Just to show it is a small world.
We ended the day at the Travellers Inn in Peace River.
