Fort Liard to Watson Lake, Yukon Territory

A bit more dirt riding in the morning, after making a rapid escape from mosquito central. Road conditions, again, were sometimes good and sometimes not so good. We finally hit the intersection with the Alaska Highway and headed West. The Milepost has been really helpful along the way (it is a book put out every year about travel in and on the way to Alaska). One ad caught my eye. It claimed that their place was "the cinnamon bun center of the galactic cluster." I had to see for myself. Karen, you can retain your title as the maker of the best cinnamon buns anywhere, ever, and YOUR house is the cinnamon roll center of the galactic cluster, despite what these folks might say! We did enjoy the best split pea soup in the universe, however.
Goodbye, flat tundra, hello (again) Canadian Rockies!

More critters.
And more rain!

Odometer: (big, big, big, big day) 3578 miles

    Hi: Thanks again for the great photos and commentary. Anne, you are REALLY good at this. I logged in at 7:00 this AM and was delighted to find so much new stuff. About gulls, my brother calls them flying rats, ( others probably do too) and he's right. I've seen them snatch food off a grill. Brazen SOBs! Wow, those morels looked yummy. Take care.
    love, Chris

    Yo Anne & Mark -- so happy Karen found your blog! I read every post (love the dogs) in one sitting, can hardly wait for the next post, and wondering if our little Focus could make the trip? xo:~|wb
