Sunrise 4:13 Sunset 11:02
The sun is shining!
There were two buffalo grazing in the park this morning just before we left. People nearby did not seem to bother them at all.
We left at 8:45, drove about 30 miles before fueling up. We got 1.2701 litres @ $1.789 totaling $227.23. Another short drive today only 133 miles. Our very first patch of gravel on the trip, a pick up truck coming fast from the other way threw a rock into our windshield (that thankfully hadn't been replaced) left a quarter size chip almost in Gary's line of sight. Oh well, in Whitehorse there are repairmen that come to the park for any kind of repairs.
We saw more bears and buffalo along the way, still haven't seen any moose. We were stopped by construction a few times but we still made it to Watson Lake by 12:45, we are within walking distance to the Sign Forest. We all went over to hang the Fantasy Caravan 2018 sign and to take a group picture (as the mosquitoes buzzed us) and to hang our personal ones. We had our drivers meeting at 5:30 followed by a campground dinner cooked by our WagonMaster and TailGunner, walking tacos and fruit cups with whip cream. Delish!
After dinner we walked across the street to the Northern Lights Space and Science Centre to watch a presentation about the Aurora borealis. We just leaned back and enjoyed the video on the domed ceiling. Someday I'd love to see the lights...another bucket list?
We have a long drive tomorrow to Whitehorse, departure time between 7 and 9, it's 10:45 now and still daylight.
That's it for today, enjoy the pic's,
TTFN,
Gary and Pam
