Camped about 1 hour
east of Whitehorse at a pull off. Left this morning about 8 am. In the mode now
of making tracks so were intending to travel a lot today. We also decided today
to take the same route home as we took in. We are kind of anxious to get home
and this route will save us a day.
Saw a lot of
wildlife today including moose, bison, mountain goats and caribou. As we repeat
the route it’s funny that we remember some things in detail and don’t remember
other things. I guess it’s been a month..
When passing thru
Watson Lake town the valley was full of smoke. While filling up with gas I
talked with a firefighter who was filling up his truck. He said that there were
2 forest fires off to the east.
Cool driving thru
Muncho Lake Provincial Park and Stone Mountain Provincial Park areas. Slow
going with very narrow and winding roads, but very good scenery everywhere.
Found a great pull
off spot in Stone Mountain Provincial Park. On top of a mountain with views of
a braided river below and mountains all around. Sat in our lawn chairs watching
the sunset develop. Fantastic sunset! It was actually hot there while sitting
when the wind wasn’t blowing.
Weather today was
warm starting in the mid 50’s and ending in the low 80’s.
