After many of weeks of driving around California & Canada, we have finally seen some actual wildlife. Ney, some of the very creatures advertized on yellow roadsigns as being for ”next 10miles” !! So we saw Rocky Mountain Goats (shaggy things with horns!); a Moose casually having a drink; a few local Bambii’s and Gophers (but they’re everywhere!). . .
We took the tent with us and found a campsite right by the water’s edge (again!!). The journey there was fun – we were in JT’s Nissan Pathfinder which has 4WD – just as well – as the roads off the main ones are literally gravel. Big gravel. So: we “off-road-ed!” Trouble was that the campground was made of gravel too so banging tent pegs in called for a lot of self-control! But it was worth it as at the mo ‘cos the evenings are light until almost 11pm so we could sit out with the fire burning and a bottle of vino-local!
