Very hard getting up this morning after being awake from 3 to about 4:00 am to watch the Northern Lights, but it was so worth it!!
We are continuing our travels south on the Cassier Highway. Still no center line or shoulder, but it really hasn't been as bad as the Milepost made it out to be.
Another narrow, metal grated bridge
The Cassier Mountain Range, a little fresh snow on the tops
Wooohooo, we have paved road and a center line!! Still not much of a shoulder though, and it's a steep drop off on the right!!
The fireweed has gone to seed, remember at the beginning of the trip it was a deep pink or red, now they are white and fuzzy looking
I love the fall colors, these trees haven't changed yet, but they are getting lighter and the contrast is pretty.
The junction of the 37 and 37A, where we continue on straight to go to Stewart.
There are signs along all the highways warning of slide area, don't stop. This is a slide that happened some time back. The layer of soil on the rocky mountains is thin, a heavy rain could be enough to cause the soil to lift from the rock and let go.
Glacier rock, poor in nutrients for anything to grow on it, it remains bare
This is Bear Glacier, another of the quickly receding glaciers, it has made it's own lake for the run off.
Notice the different color of the rim? We seem to have somehow ground the disc break down to nothing causing the break fluid to drain and discolor the rim. This also means we had no trailer breaks. Phil had a mechanic come out to the RV park in Stewart to look at it. He capped off the line to the front wheel and put more break fluid in, so now we at least have 3 wheels that have breaks. Better than nothing!!
