Bucket-list Day 15---July 17,2010 Outside Burwash, Yukon, Canada to Watson Lake


We camped last night outside of Burwash. 8am: Shelley opened the door and let in the sunshine prompting everyone to get out of bed….reluctant to find a bathroom spot out of view of each other and hopefully not near any bears….(Ha…since our wild life sightings are few!) Our morning was great to wake up to Kluane Lake….one of our trip favorite spot…and Amy playing Lady GaGa on the ipod…. Can you hear it Deb? Oh la La La la…. Behind Kluane was mountains behind mountains with glaciers visible. Breaktaking.

Our first leg was from Burwash to Haines Junction. Our second leg was Haines junction to Whitehorse. A baby grizzly cub walked across the road right next to us. Tim could have reached down and touched it. It was tempting to stop to see where Mama was, but we didn’t. We stopped in Whitehorse to get food, eat lunch (yes at McDonalds…we are getting less picky), and gas up. Our third leg was to Teslin. While there a RV driver told us one of our trailer tires was missing a piece of rubber. How he saw that we don’t know but consider it a little blessing from Heavenly Father that we changed the tire there instead of having it blow out on the road. Racing madly ahead, Amy is holding back road rage on a trucker who is not letting people pass.
Our forth leg is from Teslin to Continental Divide for gas to make it to Watson Lake. We rolled into Watson Lake about 7 pm. After thoughts of finding a spot on our own outside of town, we pulled into the place we stayed last time. It is only $10/night, has showers, and has washers. We ate chicken fajitas and bored the guys (Tim to sleep) with a slide show of our pictures thus far. The mosquitoes are the worst here than anywhere else. It is right beside the Lake.
The WiFi…as we found out before, is slow and loading pictures impossible. I will get this posted as we are trying to get ready to leave.
