After 1,938 miles in Beautiful British Columbia, we have crossed the border into the Yukon Territories. The majority of our miles traveled in BC were on two-lane highways; many of the miles were on gravel/dirt roads. But, BC is a very beautiful Provence, filled with bear, moose, beaver, wolves, and so many other wild animals. The scenery is breathtaking and ever changing and the citizens are friendly and tolerant of their southern cousins.
Having spent a comfortable night in Watson Lake, YT, we get back on the road. Our goal is to reach Whitehorse, YT before stopping for the night, but the going is rougher than we expected. We topped off the gas tank with 27 liters before leaving Watson Lake, but by the time we reached Teslin, 150 miles northwest, we topped off again. Another 202 miles and we stop for the night at Pine Lake Campground, on the out skirts of Haines Junction, YT. We are 205 miles from the Yukon - Alaska border. We make a dry camp, build a fire and fix a pot of dehydrated chicken noodle soup. After coffee and dish washing, we head down to the little lake, so Joe can test out a new bait caster reel. It's turning colder and we head back to camp, only mildly worried about the bears that might be lurking in the dense woods. At 10:00 P.M., even though it's still daylight, we climb into the back of the truck to bed down for the night. The next morning we will awake to frost on the inside of the camper shell windows.
