From Muncho Lake , we traveled to Watson Lake, YT. We crossed the Continental Divide, where the waters go East into the MacKenzie River and into the Arctic Ocean, and just yards from that stream is the Swift River that runs into the Yukon and the Bering Sea, (Pacific Ocean). The divide is about 3500' high.

Along the way, we ran into Caribou and Wood Buffalo. The buffalo were on the road and you had to wait for them to move. The roads here would remind one of Yellowstone Park, with lots of curves and turns.
We stopped at the world famous Laird Hot Springs. The water from them runs int the Laird River, which runs into the Arctic Ocean.
We arrived at Watson Lake and had heard of the Sign Post City, but were surprised ant how big it was. There were signs from all over the world. It takes up several acres of land on the West edge of the city.
We stayed at the Baby Nugget RV park west of the city. All the parks we have stayed in have been very good, but some of the internet connections were not good. We are now off to Whitehorse, YT.
just caught up on your travels. Looks like such fun and lots of interesting places and animals along the way. Where is your final destination???
ReplyDeleteWe are headed to Fairbanks next and then to Denalli, Anchorage, and back to the Cassiar Highway to Stewart, BC and Prince George, and probably back into Washington or Sandpoint, ID to see some friends. It is an open ended trip. We just have to be home by the end of July, as our grandkids are coming to Fort Peck.
