Fort Nelson, BC to Watson Lake, Yukon
I awoke to an overcast type of day - fortunately the roads were dry.
Off to mass. The priest gave a fantastic sermon.
Small church, about 50 persons, where everyone left the pews
to
hold hands in the isle for the Our Father prayer. I spoke
with
one gent
who recommended,
highly - specifically if it's cold out - to stop at the Liard
Hotsprings. We'll see - sounds good but de-layering just
isn't
appealing. Off to get some food - Subway works - tables to
set up
the laptop and work on the maps. There I spoke with several
workers - again the Liard Hotsprings was highly
recommended. Well, sorry folks, I drove by. I'll
probably
regret it as he next time I'm through to stop it'll be commercialized
(hopefully not).
Before the Liard was Lake Mucho (big) and a bunch of riding in mountain valleys (most speed limites are 100 kph - but that section was 80 with several marked curves).
The end of the day had me crossing into the Yukon Territory and the Sign Post Forest at Watson Lake.

Overcast sky, wet roads.
Here's a section (notice there are no painted lines) that is packed gravel (seal coating?). Not an issue to drive on - just a bit bumpy (leading to more fuzzy pictures).

Buffalo grazing at the roadside. At one point there was a heard of 50 or so sitting off the roadside.
Cranberry? Falls
With on and off rain, wet roads, dry roads, the bike is gett'n dirty.

Hmmm - Fennimore - how probable is that for Fennimore, Wisconsin. I have relatives from there. Probably, the town website shows a population of 2500 (Sep 2005).
