G - Reporting
It seemed a night in a Motel room and drinking my own body weight in tea did the trick as a felt a lot better than the day before, so we struck out north towards Fort Nelson the guide book said the drive would be boring but it was really pretty with forests in every shade of green and yellow you can imagine and the occasional information point with historic mile markers from the building of the Alaska Highway.
Arriving in Fort Nelson mid-afternoon we filled up with gas at the eye-watering price of $1.45 (I know, cheap compared to Europe!) and carried on our way the scenery changed quite dramatically once we got out of town with mountains rising up around the highway providing some stunning views.
We got the campsite around 4:30 only to find it closed so we pressed on to the next only to find that closed too so we crossed our fingers and went for the 3rd arriving around 6:30 and yay it was open and was as a bonus the best looking of the bunch right on the lake, so relieved we settled in for the night.
