Day 19 - September 5: Fort Nelson (again)

We woke up in the morning, the sun was shining, it was quite nice, and Mrs Lindberg made some tasty, tasty breakfast.

After breakfast, we cleaned up our cabins, and we all hopped into the van, headed back towards civilization.  And by "civilization," I actually mean Fort Nelson.  Jim made Dave promise to stop if we saw any interesting wildlife on the highway, since our entire trip had been devoid of sheep.  We came across a bison and a bear, both of which were hanging out on the side of the highway not doing anything.

We made a stop at Ford Liard, where they had a nice little craft shop.  A random guy on the street told us we would be much better off finding the artists who made the crafts, and not buying things from the store, because it would probably save us some money.  However, since we didn't have a whole lot of time, we didn't track down any artists.  I nearly bought a canoe that I fit inside, but they were not quite in Heather's reasonable price range.

Eventually we got to Fort Nelson, where we needed to spend the night since the airline had decided to cancel our flight, since it was a long weekend.  Ultimately, I'm really not sure if you're going to make any money if instead of flying people when they want to fly and you put them up in a hotel instead.  Oh well.  We had already been to the Fort Nelson museum, and the pool table in the hotel wouldn't let us play, so it took about 7 seconds to run out of things to do.  It was all rather uninteresting.
