In the Yukon today

No chance to update yesterday, the place we stayed had no telephone & the internet connection was down. We've seen lots of wildlife the last 2 days now, more bear (the kind without radar) than anything else. The gravel is the shoulder of the road. The bear was about 30 feet away.






It's been in the low 40's for the last 4 days.... I'm not sure where this global warming talk is coming from... We left Toad River, BC this morning & it was misting lightly, about 40, so we didn't put rain gear on. It started raining heavier as we got down the road. We were cold & wet all day long, so we decided to hole up in Watson Lake, Yukon for the night. 30 minutes after we checked in & layed all the leathers in front of fans to dry them out, the sun came out..... Haven't seen the sun in several days..... I told mike if we didn't love riding so much, we'd probably be miserable.... Here's me in front of the famous Watson Lake sign post forest. (I thought I was smiling, apparently i it was a grimace)



Here's a photo of a local traffic jam........



We're having a great time... believe it or not.... I think the weather may warm up by the weekend. Well, Mikes waiting to use his laptop, so gotta run! see everyone in a few more weeks.

Hi Dave. Bill and I are following your blogs every day and was disappointed when there was nothing last night. But we suspected you had no internet service. We have been there, so know what it is like. I know seeing it up close from your Bike's has got to much more exciting! Have fun, but take care, especially of the bears.
