June 15 Happy Father's Day from Watson Lake in the Yukon. We have been in the boonies for a few days so no cell phone or internet but we are here now and have both. Yippee. We spent 2 nights in Strawberry flats by Muncho Lake in B.C. It was just beautiful and would have been a great place to fish but the local guy wouldn't sell license to anybody who wasn't staying in his lodge. You run into all kinds of funny people. Anyway the second day there it rained most of the day so we just relaxed and enjoyed the peace. Last night we were at Liard Hot Springs. There is a lovely Hot Springs pool about a 10 minute boardwalk back in the woods so we soaked away the travel kinks. It was great. We were overrun by a camper caravan in the campground which was a hoot. Seems like it's the thing to join a caravan and have the plans all made for you. Anyway as the two of us alone we sort of are swallowed up. We did see some campers from Colorado so felt like home.
We arrived in Watson Lake about noon today and are enjoying the sign post village. Back in 1942 when the Al-Can highway was being built some poor lonely GI made a sign that his home was so many miles away. 64361 more signs have shown up over the years. What a hoot. We found many from Colorado and even a VERLA St. sign from CA.
We will head out tomorrow and should be in Alaska by the end of the week. We should be able to download more pictures soon too. Love and God speed to all of you.
