The weather was cool, overcast, rain and drizzle off and on all day through the Rockies.
We saw a small moose and a mountain goat early, but didn't get a picture.
Muncho Lake in the distance.
Muncho Lake closer.
Lon and Pam at Muncho Lake.
Heidi fishing in Muncho Lake.
We saw the "Chamber of Commerce" signs warning us of Buffalo, and this time they didn't lie!
Today was a Great Bear Day!!! NINE sightings between Toad River and Watson Lake.
Lon had to wait for this guy to get off the road. He was just meandering along as if he owned the road.
And he did!
Of the 9 bear one was a brown. Not very old.
Finally made it to Yukon Territory! Alaska is getting closer!
Sure is a looonnng way across Canada.
Fueled up in Watson Lake....OMG!!! Ya don't even want to know.
Had to stop at The Sign Post Forest to see if the sign we left there in 2007 was still up. Went right to it.
The Sign Post Forest was started when the Alaska Highway was being built. A few Corp. of Engineer men, that were homesick, put up signs with the name of their hometown and how many miles away it was.
Today it is estimated there are 70,000 signs here.
Ours reads "KINGSTON, OK 3188 MI."
We got settled in for the night at Baby Nugget RV Park in Nugget City just outside Watson Lake.
They told us that there was a nice walking trail that lead to a lake where we could possibly view moose and bear. Twice we attempted to find the lake. Bear and bug spray in hand off we went. And twice, the girls chickened out! Said something about how INSANE it was to be walking through the forest at dusk in bear country. Go figure.
Gail noticed when we pulled in that the motor home sounded louder than normal. As we sat outside, she also noticed that the tail pipe was hanging down a little. After investigating, sure enough, we had lost the bolts that hold the pipe up and it had been bouncing enough to break the pipe between the manifold and the muffler. So first thing in the morning...off to find parts. Ah...the joys of RVing.
