Fort Nelson, BC. It’s snowy and cold here.

Shorter day of driving today (10.5 hours), but only because there is no convenient place to stop for about 300 miles after this as we head up into the Canadian Rockies. Nice partly sunny weather most of the day, so the roads were mostly ice-free. Fort Nelson really was the first time we ran into compact snow. Roads are getting emptier and emptier as we head north. No real wildlife yet, though we have seen a dead moose and a dead black bear on the side of the road. Into the Yukon Territory at some point tomorrow.
