Day Seven from Whitehorse, Yukon

Sunday we drove to Watson Lake, Yukon, home of the sign post park. There are thousands of signs from all over the world. We even found a sign from Cedar Falls. We then drove on to Strawberry Provincial Park on Muncho Lake, Yukon (350 miles for the day). It was a small park (16 sites) right on the shore of the second most beautiful lake in Canada, second to Lake Louise in Banff National Park. We had beautiful weather.   

I've got your back.

Here's a photo of a large herd of Bison that were grazing along the road near Watson Lake, YK. I don't remember seeing Bison on our last trip.  There were lots of caves.

Past Watson Lake, we stopped at Rancheria Falls.

Monday evening we stayed along the Swift Creek, exactly the same spot that we stayed at 5 years ago when we were traveling with Dave and Ruth Buck.  It hadn't changed a bit. We traveled 320 miles on Monday to get here.

On Tuesday we passed through Teslin, YT and went to the George Johnston Museum.  George was a First Nation from the Tlingit tribe.  George had the first automobile in Teslin even though there were no roads.  He hired some of his friends to help him build a road two miles long in Teslin.  He sold rides in his car for $2/person.  In the winter when the lake was covered with ice he could drive all the way to Whitehorse.  He also used the car for hunting and painted it white in the winter and black in the summer. 

On Tuesday we arrived in Whitehorse, YT by 1:00 (180 miles), checked in to the RV park, and went downtown to the Visitors Center.  We took a tour of the SS Klondike which carried freight and silver oar from Whitehorse to Dawson City.  The boat was built in Whitehorse in 1929 and made into a museum in the 60's.  Tomorrow we are off to Skagway for the day.
