No Particular Place to Go

The next morning we entered the Northwest Territories. The resident’s license plates of this territory are in the shape of polar bears if that is foretelling at all. The difference between the Rocky Mountains and the rest of Alberta is incredible. Who would have ever guessed that Canada had so many swamps, rivers, and lakes? Also, who knew Canada had so many trees…duh! We have all heard about Canada’s forest, but when you are driving from Edmonton to the Northwest Territories and all you see in every direction is an insurmountable expanse of never ending forest. It is a little claustrophobic. While driving on the highway we once again have been impressed with the amount of wildlife we have seen. We have seen a lot of black bears, bison, and some other strange Canadian animals.

These critters were found on the highway! Although they tend to just lounge in their chairs, the monkey with high heels looks like she could be ferocious! Do not feed the wildlife!
