The bridge pictured below crosses the Teslin River, home to a diminishing number of several species of salmon. The informational boards explain the concerns and actions taken by Teslin Tlingit First Nation people to increase the number of salmon in the river but returns continue to be low, especially for the Chinook salmon.
The 600 mile drive from Whitehorse to Fort Nelson drive today was broken up by Wood Bison grazing along the highway, brilliant yellow foliage and an afternoon snack at Liard Hot Springs. It is a short walk on the boardwalk to the hot spring pools and well-worth a stop.
We slept in the truck at a campground whose restaurant serves chicken-fried steak. This is important only because after being a waitress in my teens and serving plenty of them, I finally realized why the name was given to a pounded and rather tasteless piece of meat (fyi-the steak has the same coating as chicken although perhaps this almost tidbit was known by most of the readers of this blog).
