So last night around quarter to ten we decide to go for a drive on Hunker Creek road. It's finally dry enough that we feel confident in the drive. We'd never done it before. So the following pictures are taken on the loop we did. It takes about 2 hours and brings you back down Bonanza creek road right outside of town. Keep in mind that the closer valleys you see in these pics are the infamous sites of the Klondike Gold Rush over a hundred years ago. There is still mining equipment here and there on all of the lower parts of the drive. Surprisingly, the only wildlife we saw was a big old porcupine. It was gorgeous and we only drove about 70 km. We can't wait to do it again. We think we might camp at the highest point on Wednesday night if Lynne isn't in surgery on Thursday morning (there's a tale for another post).

Those are beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

I've never been to that neck of the woods, but it looks awesome. Maybe you'll find a little gold when you camp.

I'll keep you in my thoughts!
