Leaving Fort Nelson

We have had our first good night's sleep in several days.  Forget the fact that the motel is called Lakeview Inn and Suites and there is not a lake in sight.  If there were anything to see in Fort Nelson, other than something about shale oil, we would stay another night.  So, yesterday ended up being a great day with the beautiful scenery, the great motel room, and the wildlife views.  Unfortunately, Jacob did not sleep last night and woke Anna up at 5:45 am.  This may not be such a great day.

A few parting scenes from our trip to Fort Nelson.
Big Horn Sheep

Stone Sheep.  The minute we pulled the car forward, the baby dashed up the side of the mountain.

Muncho Lake on the way to Fort Nelson
A common scene throughout Alaska and Canada.

2 Sea Otters
Countless eagles

Lots of seals
2 sculpin..that Jacob caught
Sounds like a song.  We have not seen a caribou, but there is always today.

We need to pack up and leave.  Who knows what wonderful things we will see today.  I don't know if we will have Internet service and phone service today or not.  Let's hope.  I hate not being able to be in touch with you.

We miss you so much.  Lots of love, Elizabeth
