We traveled Friday to Toad River, BC and camped at the Poplar Campground. The owners were very nice; they made ten rhubarb and fruit pies for the entire group, when he left in his plane he did a roll down the valley where we were sitting by the campfire. The views from our campsites were magnificent. The area was just off of the Alaska Highway but had no power and the camp was run off of generators. He also told me of some great views from on top a mountain where there was a gravel road to service a microwave tower. It was a fourteen mile drive from 2400 feet to 5549 feet, and in the last two miles we climbed 1200 feet. It was well worth the white knuckle drive; we could see hundreds of miles in every direction.

This is the valley below that we had to drive through to get to the top.
As we were driving we spooked a moose and she ran in front of us for
a couple hundred yards before going up into the bushes.
