Buffalo Are Not Extinct!






As we were traveling from Ft. Nelson to Watson Lake, we had the chance to see some incredible scenery at Lake Munzo. The water is a crystal green color, and even though it was foggy and rainy, was absolutely beautiful. The three hundred miles to Lake Watson was rugged, and the hundreds of miles of water was a pleasant distraction

We stopped at a little restaurant on the way to Watson Lake, and on the menu they had bear burgers, buffalo burgers, turkey burger, chicken burgers, and regular hamburgers. We opted for the regular hamburgers, but noticed that they had a distinct wild flavor to them! I hope it wasn't a bear burger that we ingested, as the bear is one of my power animals.

A few miles from the restaurant, we ran across some real buffalo along the side of the road. Lisa had to pull into the other lane, as the largest buffalo decided to protect our side of the road!! We took pics, and continued driving, only to come around a bend in the road, and ran right into another herd of buffalo. They even had babies!! Pretty incredible sight! Then we saw a couple of baby bears.

We wanted to thank our friends and family who have posted on our blog. It makes us feel as if you are with us, making it less lonely a trip. At least this way we know that once we left town, we were not forgotten, as you all are not forgotten. We miss you lots
Same goes for our new friends!!

We will be arriving at the Alaskan border tomorrow, as we are in Whitehorse now.

Wow! Buffalo! I never thought for one moment that they were extinct! They are survivers and the reason they are is because they keep pushing on despite any difficulties. Know I'm always with you.

Buffalo teaches us how to learn to stop focusing on problems and difficulties and to concentrate instead on how much we have and on how rich we are in terms of our connectedness to all of life.

You are so blessed! Remember this and I love you all.
