Liard Hot Springs to Teslin

Today began early again.  Up at a little after 5 and off by 6:30 for the drive to Teslin.  I prefer to leave early in order to have a better chance at seeing wildlife and today I was rewarded for my efforts.  Shortly after leaving camp I encountered a group of half a dozen buffalo lounging along the side of the highway (see pictures at Jim Hailey Nature Photography).  This is a wild herd that has been in the area for many years.  Then up the highway I encountered a total of 5 black bears feeding alongside the road.  I was able to photograph them and even had the opportunity to video one (see video).  As usual the scenery was amazing and I have included several scenic shots among the photos.  I also had the chance in Watson Lake to gain access to the internet and could post my blogs and some pictures.  Unfortunately, I could not get the videos of the waterfalls at Smith River or the bear to go through.  Hopefully I can do that soon.  I made it to camp and set up by 5:30 after a long but slow drive.  I stopped frequently to take photos.  The trip today was 300 miles and puts me within 100 miles of Whitehorse.  I plan on spending tomorrow at Teslin and the on Monday heat to Atlin, BC, about 100 miles away.  This is a place I have never been and I understand the lake view is spectacular.  I will take photos.
