Toad River

Mr. Charley & I have been "caravanning" with Anne & Briggs. We made our way to Whitehorse, YT; hung out for a couple of days (laundry, groceries, etc) and the guys even played a round of golf! Well, about 10-11 holes. About the time Mr. Charley's back was "talking" to him, Anne called Briggs to let him know someone had knocked there awning off while they were pulling in! 🤦‍♀️ Needless to say the fella didn't realize his backend was going to swing around as far & wide as it did. 🤷‍♀️ Well, long story short the guys got it "fixed" well enough to travel and we were able to leave Monday as planned.



We headed to Watson Lake, stayed over & made our way to Toad River, BC.
It was a nice ride, we saw a fox, a few black bears , a grizzly, a few dead porcupines that the ravens were feeding on, and some stone sheep or mountain goats (couldn't tell) 😏


I didn't get pics of all, but here's a few:

 You need to look real close to see them on the hillside

We were hoping to drycamp near or around Muncho Lake but decided to go a bit further to Toad River.
It's a beautiful place, but the clouds were moving in & the wind was picking up so the lake wasn't as "calm" as it had been when we first came through on the way in:

On our way, we stopped at a rest area & found that our awning was flapping (ours is broken too, so we had it tied up). Mr Charley crawled up on the roof & proceeded to tie it up better. Thank God Briggs was there to help! The bugs were SO BAD, I put the girls back in the truck so they wouldn't get eaten alive! Mr Charley did, tho. Bless his heart he had blood running down his face & neck from all those bites! Luckily, we didn't have much further to go. By the time we landed & got set up he was  starting to feel the stings. I got the alcohol out, gave him some Benadryl & fixed him a  drink. We were happy they had a restaurant here so he didn't have to cook. Once we got him fed, he was ready to kick back & rest.


Here's some pics of him AFTER I got him cleaned up:

He was a bloody mess from those black fly bites.


This is a pretty nice place, the girls have a nice grassy yard & theres a nice view of the pond in the back. There's supposed to be some moose around that like to get a drink there, so we'll keep our eyes open. In the meantime, the restaurant has over 10,000 hats that have been "left" here. So here's the story and some pics:

This is the view of the pond behind us

And later on in the evening, the moose did come out to get a drink

Have a good one everybody, we're sure trying to






RV Riding is a new "adventure" everyday
