We’re spending our 3rd night in British Columbia and entering the Alaska Highway. We spent last night camped on a small salmon river and sat on the bank watching the wildlife. Signs warned us that wading in the river was ok but to avoid swimming and splashing as it disturbs the migrating Chinook and Coho salmon. We passed through the Hart Mountains, a series of lined up 7 thousand foot peaks in the Northern Rockies. We soon passed by a forest fire being fought along our highway, helicopter were dumping water on the flames. We’re are spending the night in Dawson Creek, the air is thick with smoke. We head north tomorrow on the Alaskan Highway, potentially heading into another burning area. The north woods are on fire.
We camped the first night in British Columbia by a salmon river and were told not to swim in it as it would disturb the migrating Chinook salmon. We drove through a beautiful mountain range further north and emerged in foothills where fire fighters were battling a forest fire. Multiple helicopters were dumping water on the flames trying to bring it under control, quite a sight. Dawson Creek, our evening stop, is very smoky from another distance fire. They are short firefighters as there are numerous fires out of control. Western Canada is burning 🔥
