July 8, 2019: We are now just outside Watson lake just inside the Yukon. We left Fort Nelson on July 6, 2019 and broke up the drive at a provincial park called Liard River Hot springs. It is open year round and I wished we had left Fort Nelson a day earlier so we could have spent more time there. This has so far been my favorite camping spot even with no amenities. We were separated from our neighbors by lush bushes and trees and the hot springs was such a bonus. We were ,however, allowed to run our generator for a couple hours at night and in the morning. We decided not to as it stays light until 11:00pm. It rained all night but by morning it had stopped and was very cold for the rest of day. We got a later than usual start at 9AM but we were only going a little over a 100 miles. Liard River Hot Springs is at mile marker 496 yes that right folks we are 496 miles from Dawson Creek (mile 0)and just 1470 miles to the North Pole well North Pole Alaska (near Fairbanks) where we will camp for a couple of days. July 9, 2019 Yeah we have cell and internet here in Whitehorse. We will explore Whitehorse on our way home. We have seen bears, Mountain Sheep and a couple of herd of Bison in the last couple of days. Both the bears and the Mountain Sheep were not where we could pull over so my pictures are pretty much flybys. The Bison are pretty good. Tomorrow we leave for Tok Alaska and then by Thursday we should start our Alaska adventure beginning in Fairbanks. So now for some pictures Enjoy
