Heading home from Alaska #1: back at Teslin Lake

And have cell, so here goes.

First, turn away if easily offended.  Or scroll quickly past the next several pictures.  

You know the question “Does a bear shit in the woods?”  

Well, I cannot attest to that, but I can tell you that bears shit in the road.  Often.

Evidence 1:

Evidence 2:

And the definitive evidence, presented in the order in which they were taken.  I’m not sure why the camera refused to focus clearly for this next picture; perhaps it’s modest.  But the second one is pretty clear.

So.  That’s settled.

Here’s another critter from the wildlife tour.

They had us howl, which got her howling.  The camera preferred to focus on the fence.

And another of the lynx, just because.

Grabbed the chance for a close-up of a reindeer’s hoof.

Jumping to today: the drive up from Skagway was beautiful as promised, so stopped often for pictures.  Here are a few.

The next one is looking back toward Skagway. 

Once you get to the top, there are lots of lakes and ponds.  I love the complexity of the texture of the landscape.

Further into the Yukon, past the border station, which is several miles inside Canada, there’s this largish lake (probably Tagish Lake) that was completely still and reflecting its surroundings.  The reflections looked almost more clear than the originals.

Tomorrow I should start down the Cassiar, into unknown territory (for me).  Looking forward to it.
