the usual; road construction...

open, empty roads...

gas stop, near run-in with the Yukon mafia... mosquitoes...

pretty mountains.

DR. Rock · 08-04-2011, 11:53 AM

the poor kids up here can't afford spray paint. They have to use rocks.

sad, really.

It's not like the big city, is it?

DR. Rock · 08-04-2011, 11:59 AM

pulling into Big Creek campground...

camp chores.

we pretty much had the place to ourselves.

Me and my opposable thumbs usin' trees as tools.

That's makin' firewood.

Dinner and a campfire.

DR. Rock · 08-04-2011, 12:08 PM

we neglected to string the pan and plates (clean) up in the bear bag, so I rigged up a bear/critter alarm:

Somehow, a campfire just isn't quite right when it's this light out at 10pm.

8-hour day. Practically like being at work.

NOT!

Doc, can you bring bear pepper spray into Canada and Alaska, or do you have to purchase it in Country (Canada)?

Big (wet) Creek Campground to Tetsa River Campground

click on image below for detail:

This turned out to be a nice day riding -- decent weather, signpost park, buffalo (or in the Canadian metric system, Bison), crossing the Rockies, the bizarrely blue Muncho Lake, and other sights. We woke up, however, a bit wet:

It wasn't far to Watson Lake, where we decided to see the signpost park, and dry out for a bit, maybe have some breakfast.

DR. Rock · 08-10-2011, 08:00 AM

to the signpost park, and you're in the neighborhood, don't pass it by.

I thought it was going to be a smallish, kitchy touristy thing... But it's actually HUGE -- it goes on and on and on and on. Still kitchy and touristy, but kinda impressive.

We left a couple:

This is kinda weird... we live in New York City, I'm from Chicago, and we're headed for Edmonton.

DR. Rock · 08-10-2011, 08:03 AM

having a hot breakfast,

hoping the rain would clear,

which it did, and, as a bonus, the provincial liquor store opened, so we could stock up:
