Trapped in Fort Nelson on the Alaskan Highway

We’re trapped in this tiny remote town populated mainly by First Nation people (Indians) . Firefighters have been unable to contain the HUGE fire so the highway remains closed for the 3rd day. They might open up the highway for a few hours tonight as this road is the only supply route for Whitehorse Yukon , a big town up north. We stocked up on supplies heading up here so we’re ok but anxious to continue our journey to Alaska. This is bear country so caution is advised. Mosquitoes are bad.

Our campground has a restaurant and rowdy saloon
Saloon entrance, yes those are real rifles for door handles
