Our neighbor left at 6:00 a.m. (as he informed us the night before). That was helpful to us – we were on the road by 6:47 a.m. We only stopped once for a quick snack break and to stretch our legs, so we made good time.
Sadly, we saw no animals on this 266-mile segment. We did notice plenty of animal poop and hoof prints though. However, the road was relatively smooth and there were no gravel patches.
After checking into our overnight spot, we walked to Watson Lake Sign Forest and found the sign we had nailed up just two months ago. Then a quick walk to the grocery store (darn expensive!) and one load of laundry (remember to bring your loonies and toonies).
We researched the next few days of travel – they will be heavy travel days as we are trying to get through Canada in ten days.
Wildlife Spotted: Ravens; Seagulls flying over the campground
