We left our wayside campground at 8:30am.  We were about 150 miles from Whitehorse.

 At 11:15am we pulled into the Pioneer RV Park in Whitehorse, picked up our water regulator we forgot there, filled up with LP, and had a quick lunch, all in 30 minutes and “Off We Go”.

 As we neared Teslin, the color in the trees wasn’t as bright and there were still trees that were all green yet.  They hadn’t even begun to change, but still pretty none the less.

 We spotted some of our tour group for the first time since we left Kenai.  They were pulled in a wayside.  We honked as we went by.

 We arrived in Watson Lake at 4:30pm.  We checked in at the Visitors Center and picked up paperwork for our trip on to Dawson Creek.  

 We checked the Sign Forest, but couldn’t find the signs left by our group, so ended up hanging our new sign close to the one we hung in 2008.  We found out there are approximately 75,817 signs in the forest.  Wow!  What a site that is.

 We had snacks for dinner, topped the gas tank off and decided to head on down the road a bit further before we called it quits for today.

 I was going to say in the blog today that we saw no animals but we weren’t even out of Watson Lake 20 miles before we saw a bison grazing along the roadside.  On down another 10 miles and we spotted a black bear eating along the road.  We stopped and backed up to get the pictures, then another black bear, another bison, a grizzly bear with her 2 cubs and last off, another bison.  Our animal card is full for today!

 We finally found a wayside for the night around 8pm.  It was a good day, 464 miles.
