Our day in Sikanni Chief started out sunny and beautiful.

Boulders in the road. Temperature is 34 degrees Fahrenheit.
No sheep out in this weather.
The highway runs along Muncho Lake for miles.
This sign means what it says.
The highway is lined with huge drainage swales.
Signs of trouble.
And there they were.

It was a long and busy day. We arrived at Liard River Hot Springs RV Park and could only stay in the overflow area – the equipment parking lot, next to a backhoe. Early the next morning we learned that the road we had crossed washed out in a couple of areas. We got through the Alaska Highway just in time!
