Liard Hot Springs

According to the Alaska Highway 2018 book that we purchased, the Liard Hot Springs is a must stop during your travels up/down the highway.  We were not disappointed!  Walked along the boardwalk through the woods with an eye out for bear until we reached the soaking area.  I guess that Read more…

Bad Power

On the way to Shelby we stopped for a quick bite at Wheat Montana Bakery.  Real cute place with huge cinnamon rolls and interesting sauces: I don’t really think that this place was around when Lewis & Clark first charted the area. We pulled into our reserved site at the Read more…
