Greetings from Teslin, YT, Clear Sunny 60 degrees

Our last two days has been interesting to say the least. Yesterday we had no phone service no Internet service and no television. We really had to rough it. We stayed at a beautiful lodge at Bell, BC. This is the last place in North America they helliski which means they take skiers to the top of a mountain and drop them off by helicopter to ski in 30 foot powder.

During our trip to Bell we encountered a small black bear that ran in front of the car and almost became a hood ornament. We continued to see a total 7 black bear along the road just laying around. The last bear we saw Aggie was driving and I said look, there is a bear right next to the road. So she pulled up to the bear so it was next to the passenger side mirror, then she rolled down the window on my side so I could get a good picture. I don't think she realized the bear could have jumped into the car and ripped off my face. She said if the bear had reached in the car she would have closed the window on his arm. Somehow that did make me feel any better having a bear paw in the car with me. We laughed for a long time after that happened.

Today on our way to Teslin we saw a black bear, a red fox (not to be confused the the real Red Fox on Sanford and Son), and a cow moose. We were not fast enough to get pictures of any of these animals. We are now spending the night in Teslin, YT and expect to be in Skagway, AK tomorrow, where we intend to spend a day and then take the ferry over to Haines, AK to see Aggies' cousin Emily.

No pictures, we only have 5.5 mps of bandwidth at the lodge we are staying at.

That's all for now
