Day - 61, Watson Lake, YT


724 km today and made it to the north end of the Cassiar Hwy. this is easily the prettiest part of the trip to Alaska and I never really get tired of it. Since it's raining, I decided to get a sleeping room at Nugget City RV park. This is the same plane I camped at on the trip down. The picture was taken at the junction of the road to Stewart-Hyder and the Cassiar Hwy. No other pictures though I did take a couple of short video clips. 

Only 2 black bear sightings. But did spot a R1200GS sidecar rig heading south. They had a huge wave for me. At Dease Lake, the RV in front had an airhead fanatic. About 30 km north, he was pulled off the side of the road taking photos of the rig going by. Lots of smiles and waves.

  1. Sounds like this leg of the trip is going better. Hows the bike running?

  2. I remember Watson Lake, it was a bit snowier when I went through... Did you visit the Signs Forest?

    1. No, that would've been a detour. Watson Lake is 17 miles to the east of where the Cassiar come in.

  3. That is a long day in the saddle. At least you made it safe and sound. The rig is working all properly now i hope.

    1. It felt like a long day. 10 hours to go 450 miles. About the same as Spokane to Corvallis but the average speed yesterday was much lower.
