Alaska 5/25





Greetings from the Yukon.Today we started out towards The Yukon. On the way we saw a moose, some stone sheep, a black bear, caribou and then a buffalo, all within the first two hours on the road. The picture of the lake is Muncho Lake, it was a beautiful green blue color.further on down the road we went to Laird Hotsprings. It is a Provincial Park, there is a boardwalk about 1/4 to 1/2 mile long, at the end was a river that was fed by very hot springs 45 to 49 degrees C. that is close to 120 degrees F. There were quite a number of people in the spring, and we joined them. It was HOT and as you went up stream the water got hotter. We stayed the better part of one half to three quarters of an hour. Then we had a picnic there at the park. Then on to Watson Lake in the Yukon, Here we found the 'Sign Post Forest' It was started when they built the Alaskan Highway and has grown every year. They count the signs every Sept. and last Sept. there were 69,700 different signs Wish we would have known so we could have brought one from Coldwater.
