Not quite to Watson Lake!

 We left Dease Lake, what there was of it, and headed for Watson Lake.



It was a bit chilly as we started out and pretty much stayed that way until we got to just before Watson Lake.
The roads were a bit crazy with lots of gravel, lots of potholes, lots of bumps, but no rain!
This moose (you have to look closely) decided to cross in front of us.  Damn they're big!
We got to see a bear, a fox and lots of rabbits!

We took the advice of the group we spoke with this morning and stopped at Nugget City for lunch.   It was such a lovely place with great food, nice cabins and friendly folks and we decided to stay.
Great choice because as it turned out, the road to Watson Lake was mostly gravel for about                40 km...we're cool like that this week....all metric baby!



We were able to stay in a lovely cabin in the woods.   The restaurant is great, the other guests were all lovely and had great info for our travels up through the Yukon and Alaska.   That's one of the best parts of traveling by vehicle...you get to meet the nicest folks from everywhere!

We're off to Whitehorse, Yukon tomorrow.
