We’re spending the summer solstice at Toad River. We drove over the northern Rockies today. The scenery was wonderful. We saw a herd of caribou and many flocks of stone sheep, a variety of sheep that lives only in a small area of northern British Columbia. Our camper is parked next to the Toad River. Four moose are in the river right behind us. Earlier today one of our neighbors watched a grizzly stalk a moose calf. Fortunately mom came to the rescue.

This is a campground I would definitely want to spend a few days. We're surrounded on three sides by mountains with the river on the other. In this remote spot there's cable TV and even limited internet access. That and with moose and grizzlies in the back yard...
