Entering the Yukon
As you can see my updates are being posted a few days late.
That's because free wifi is as scarce as the elusive moose have been for us so far.
The next morning we're off again heading north through western BC.
As anywhere, we hit construction. These guys were in a group of 3 trucks and an old school bus heading way up north to develop a gold mine claim. With the present price of gold, people here think things will boom in the next couple of years. I didn't tell them that the price of gold usually goes back down.
Hard to see, but this is our approximate route.
Stunning scenery all day.
Had to stop at a Jade shop. They mine it, cut it, then either polish it or ship it to Japan to have it carved and sent back here to sell. They're "real Proud" of their jade.
Kernal got a piece for a necklace. 
I think these are mountain goats, as opposed to the fuzzy white ones that can really skip up and down the face of a cliff.I don't remember what those are called.
Getting closer...
Crossing into the Yukon Territory.
Laundry time. Should we push on to the left and stink, or back track a little and spend a couple of hours doing laundry? As you know a woman's vote always constitutes a majority.
A small part of the 68,000+ signs in the signpost forest at Watson Lake.
It's probably there somewhere, but...
I couldn't find Middlebury
By then the day was shot so we found a room, planning a long day in the morning.
Not terribly impressed with Watson Lake. Kind of a grubby little town where they like to gouge tourists.
