Wanting to take a different road home, we turned south on Highway 37, and ventured onto the Cassiar Highway. Completed in 1972, this mostly asphalt-surfaced road was generally narrower than most 2-lane highways, with little or no shoulder. With easy curves and some long straight stretches, we found it to be a pretty awesome path on which to spend two days traveling.
Last night was spent on Boya Lake. What a spectacular setting. Wow.
Can one have a favorite caterpillar? If so this Lophocampa maculata is mine. I think it's because he reminds me of a bumblebee.
Morning, at our campsite, could not have been more beautiful...
And chilly!
This was an interesting find and rates a "Who knew?". With 90% of the world's jade currently being supplied from British Columbia, we had to stop at Jade City, located on our path. For over forty years and four generations, jade has been mined here.
And how cute is this little guy? Can anyone tell us what it is?
This creek is named after George Eastman, of the Eastman-Kodak fame, because he was a fan of hunting and fishing here, before the road was even constructed (c. 1920s).
Today was our best day yet of seeing wildlife along the roadside. We counted seven black bears. They looked healthy and happy. What an added gift to our last days in Canada.

What a great flower and critter day. The little furry four legged guy looked like he had coyote in him. I would have wanted to adopt the little caterpillar. And "burrrrrrrrr" on the temperature.
What a lovely blog. I myself have tried these macarons and especially love the mango one. :)
