Last night we stayed at the Inn On The Lake, Marsh Lake, Yukon Territory. It is a beautiful place in a great location and as we were the only guests we had the place to ourselves. Even the owners live in a nearby house. It was a very quiet and serene evening.
They had an amazing chef working there and before she left for the evening she made us a superb three course meal. It was an amazingly tasty meal. Possibly one of the best we have eaten. Who would have known that home-made basil ice-cream on a ricotta could test so good.
We decided to go for a short walk after dinner but were surprised that the chef insisted we take bear-repellant. That wasn't a good sign. However no bears were spotted but Vyv was quite happy when it started raining and we had to cut our walk short.
Today, driving from Marsh Lake to Fort Nelson, we saw an amazing number of wild animals. All of them were either grazing along the side of the road or walking across the road.
We saw:
12 bears
2 red foxes
2 grey wolves
2 elk
Over 100 buffalo
