5/21/08 We left the Fraser Lake area today and headed toward Prince Rupert. We need to be in Prince Rupert ready to board the Alaskan Marine Ferry by 5/24 at dawn. We have about 200 miles to go. Today we spent the day looking for a moose. We saw one moose doe and her baby, but we went by too fast, and realized too late to take a picture. We went through many small towns today, and stopped at most of the visitor centers. Today we learned about the Pine Bark Beetle devastation going on in this area. We have loved that the BC people love to talk to us, and we have lots of questions. While fishing is supposed to be great in this area, it is just too cold for us. It never got over 60 today……… We marvel at the people who go around in shorts and short sleeves, while we are bundled up in our heavy shirts and jackets. Right now we are parked for the night under a huge glacier. It is beautiful. The sun sets really late, so we will watch the sun set over the glacier.
