Getting to Watson Lake - Home of all the Sign Postss


July 15 (Watson Lake)
This morning after breakfast and packing up, Travis and Roger flew, Alana and I drove to White Horse.  We met up at a diner across from the airport, had a sandwich there and then we went on to Teslin, Roger and I flying, T and A driving.  Travis had discovered a wheel stud missing from one of the back wheels in Silver City, and checked at a shop that was close to the restaurant about getting it fixed.  It was closed since it was Sunday so we kept going.  At Teslin we decided to keep going and went on to Watson Lake, Travis & I flying, Roger & Alana driving. (Yes, we like to mix it up!)  Alana doesn’t feel well when she flies so isn’t doing very much of it.  If she drugs herself up enough she’s ok, but that’s not much fun, so mostly she’s in the truck.  We found a pretty crappy campground to sleep at but we were a bit desperate for showers and it was getting a bit late, so we took what was available.  It was basically a parking lot, on gravel where we set up our tents.  But the bathrooms and showers were spotless, so that helped make up for it a bit.  Set up our tents, cooked our supper of pasta and spaghetti sauce and went to bed.  We’re making most of our meals, although I’m sure we’ll eat out sometimes too.   Watson Lake is where all the signs are from all over the world of towns and how far away they are from Watson Lake.  There are thousand and thousands of signs.  JOLENE
