We got an early start (7:40am) heading south. As we started there was a beautiful string of Canadian Geese, lighted up by the sunrise, heading south. Just after that 2 young elk crossed in front of us. We crossed the Continental Divide, just as we did in Yellowstone the year before. | |
We pulled of the road at Lake Lebarge to visit Moms Bakery (owned by Tracy Harris, a former director of the Yukon Quest and a great baker.) We had coffee, looked at some of her pictures, including Mary Shields (see the Fairbanks). She has a local fox she feeds an egg a day to keep him away from her chickens (we had seen him on the way in. We purchased a giant cinnamon roll, sourdough bread and some halibut chowder and were on our way. | |
We stopped in Whitehorse for window repair and to refuel. Window repairs are not done on Saturdays and diesel . . . ah, that is the question. We had seen pumps with no markings, pumps with a “low sulphur” sticker and pumps with “Ultra” written next to the low sulphur sticker. I can’t really say good fuel was available after Chicken until Prince George. | |
We camped at The Cottonwood River rest area (dry) with a mountain and river view. Leftovers for dinner, a Scrabble game and to bed. | |
Our open house video for the grand kids, nieces and nephews. |
