[Crooked Creek]

So Christmas wasn't as restful as I was hoping...but:

Off I went, across the swollen Omineca River and towards all points north.




Did I mention that I still hadn't met vehicle on the road since the Finlay FSR. One that ran anyway.




In fact, I wouldn't meet another vehicle all the way to my destination (which was still many hours away.)




The riding was excellent.




And the bears were plentiful.








I'm on the Thutade FSR now and the road takes a sharp turn north. If you head west here you can go to Takla Landing (which was going to be my last fuel stop on the summer before on the Spatsizi expedition.)








Not too far and we are starting to climb.




I am iching to use my boat now, but the road keeps going on and on.




This is the last of the clear cuts I rode through before getting into the "real bush."
