Canadian Wildlife...and mosquitos


Well, this was Canada. Beautiful country in its own way. Once we hit the Alcan Highway (Alaska/Canadian highway, for those of you from "outside" Alaska or from the "lower 48") the roads pretty much looked like the one the big black bear is crossing. Yes...my first "wild" black bear. He just minded his own business while Russ stepped out of the car and got him on video. I stayed IN the car, because I'm not a hunter and people from Missouri just do that. I did get this photo as he crossed right in front of the car. I asked God one morning if we could see some wildlife that day, and not long afterwards, we drove past a herd of bison and a dozen or more stone sheep. We camped out each of the 3 nights we were in Canada and were warmly welcomed by a mosquito convention. Mosquitos haven't been bad here in Glennallen I think because they all went to Canada for summer vacation.
