The run to Charlie Lake from Liard hotsprings was as good as every other day in the wonderful country of Canada. Only things that stand out of major note was Muncho Lake. There was the Northern Rockies Lodge there. Nothing else for 125 miles in either direction. Gas was $1.80/Liter. That's about $6.81 a gallon. Then, we got a dollar off coupon for breakfast in the resturant. So we went inside and sat down for a nice breakfast, have a look at the menu and nearly fall out of our chairs. Two pancakes, $15. Two Eggs, Two bacon, some hashbrowns, $15. Two slices of Toast $7. Toast! $7!! Ouch! After breakfast, we hobbled out with wounded wallets and carried on our way to Charlie Lake...
Charlie Lake itself wasn't overly spectacular after Liard, but was typical of the Canadian National Park system. The town, however had something we hadn't seen for nearly a week. A McDonalds AND GSM cellphone services. Civilization! The town is actually pretty much a Farm town. John said it was like Deja Vu to the time he spent in Kansas. Nice place to stop over on our way through to Jasper National Park... -MGates
