Beaver Dam Rest Area (and for us Wildlife Viewing Area), Stewart-Cassiar Highway, BC - Stop 33 on our Trek North to Alaska

Surprisingly, I had a fitful night’s sleep in Wally World’s parking lot.  This Wal-mart and everything in the area closes by 10 p.m., so the road traffic noise was minimal.   Even the gulls and ravens cawing didn’t disturb me.

We headed back onto the Alaska Highway, taking a brunch break at Johnson’s Crossing, Historic MilePost 836.  Truth is, I needed a sticky bun fix!   We stopped at the overlook to the Nisultin Bay Bridge, the longest water span on the ALCAN.  This was something we neglected to do on our northbound travels, so I now have a nice photo to share.

Later, we learned all about the Continental Divide separating two of the largest river drainages in North America, the Yukon vs the Laird River Watersheds.

We refueled at Nugget City, at the intersection of the Alaska Highway and Highway 37, the Stewart-Cassiar Highway.  Between our northbound miles and now our return trip, we traversed the entire ALCAN!   Now we can affix our “I Survived the Alaska Highway” bumper sign to our rig!

We crossed over to British Columbia and decided that 8 hours of driving was more than enough.  So we are spending tonight at Beaver Dam Rest Area.  But not a beaver to be found.

My family is already inside the 5^th wheel, but I refuse to leave the safety of the truck. You see, there is a young, male fox right outside!  He is mighty thin and looking very hungry.  I said give him a cat burger, not a rat burger!

As you can see, Tabby did not react well to that statement. 

No Photoshop used here, folks.  This is the real deal--Tabby freaking out!

Speak to you again soon from Iskut, British Columbia!
