Sue's Birthday!!

She was born 64 years ago today. WOOHOO!

We’ll be driving to Kluane park today and probably stay there for a few days. It depends on how good the fishing is. We could drive to Alaska in a few hours; we’re that close. But we want to explore as much as possible, so we’ll hang out in Canada for a while longer.

I doubt there’ll be service there, so don’t be disappointed if you don’t hear from us for a while. I expect to still have spotty service in Alaska but we’ll see.

There’s been several requests for Tracey’s blog. Here’s her url- Traceyandchristravels.blogspot.com. They went to Utah and she took some awesome pictures. I think they may be home by now.

No pictures yet of Sasquatch. He’s been particularly evasive. The one time we saw him, he ran off before we got a pic.

 I wouldn’t be surprised if we see a brown bear in Kluane.  In case you’re wondering, bears come in three types- Polar (which we don’t expect to see), Black (which come in all colors; we’ve already seen black and brown), and Brown bears(which we call Grizzly in the States). The brown are the mean ones. There’s a saying in the woods; Black fight back, brown lay down. The blacks are smaller and not too aggressive but if they attack they can be scared away. Browns are much more aggressive and can’t be fought off. Hence, the purchase of a can of bear spray yesterday. It’s like wasp spray but nastier. Of course, you have to spray right into their eyes- from 12’ away! Yikes! If you don’t hear from us in a week, call the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and let them know we were probably eaten by a brown, will ya?
