The highway has exacted its steepest price yet: my windshield will have to be replaced. The first leg this morning was snowy, icy, and fraught with poor road conditions. A big rig passing in the other direction kicked up some stones and the rest is history.

We did see some amazing sights today. And once we got into the mountains the weather and roads cleared and there was beauty and majesty in all directions. Toad River and Muncho Lake were especially magnificent. We also caught our first glimpses of wildlife today. Three moose, four bears, and at least a dozen buffalo. All in all an eventful part of the journey.

This is definitely the most out-post like town we've stayed in so far. It is also home to the legendary Signpost Forest. You could spend hours walking around that place, checking out the names and towns from all over the world. We left our mark, like all good travelers should. Tomorrow is Frank's treasure and our last night in Canada.
There are over 55,000 signs.

By the way, it's after ten o'clock and still light outside. The long days are sort of a miracle to Frank. The notion hasn't really settled into my brain yet.
wow, gorgeous. The sign is fantastic.
