Greetings from Prince George, British Columbia

We're getting closer to our destination, thankfully! We have another 425 miles of driving left until we reach Prince Rupert to take the ferry to Ketchikan, Ak. Today we left Canmore and travelled north through Banff National Forrest and Jasper National Park. The elusive moose has eluded us. I want to see a moose! I think they're hiding from me. We did see several black bears, a few elk, a coyote and the melting glaciers of the Columbia Icefields in Jasper National Park. The Icefields are surreal, it was almost 50 degree and yet there still frozen.

I forgot to mention yesterday that our scheduled ferry from Prince Rupert to Ketchikan was pushed back a day and a half so we will not reach our destination until Thursday, May 22. Apparently something was delayed in Belligham, WA pushing our ferry back. Big bummer but there's not a whole lot we can do about it.
