Road Trip to Fairbanks, Day 9 (June 1st)

Ursus americanus (Black Bear).

Here are the pictures taken on Day 9 of our road trip.
We drove from Liard Hot Springs to Tagish.
We didn't keep on Alaska Highway from Jake's Corner, because we wanted to see our friend in Haines, Alaska.
We saw many wild animals (mostly bison) on that day and it was really exciting!

We had to wait until 10:00 a.m. to buy beer at the nearby gas station.
At the Liard Hot Springs area, they can't sell alcohol, either.

Lots of campers! 
After this traffic jam, we got a flat tire!
We changed it with the spare tire at a campsite and we managed to get to.....

Tagish!

A kind of vetch or pea?

We camped at the nearby campground and we were the only ones there.

The water was amazingly clear.
