Watson Lake is not a large city,but the town is well known for it's Sign Post Forest.At the entrance to the town the highway is lined with the flags from around the world.We stayed two days.The sign post forest is incredible,65000 signs by now,adding more everyday.We brought ours from home and finished it on the way.We where so sorry that we did not find the one from Al from 1994 and from Manfred and Edda from 2006,we spend over 3 hours there,must have looked at every one of them.We where getting real tired,so we went back to the RV park.
The next day we went back to hang up our own sign .We found out,that the tradition with the signs started doing the second World War.Some signs we could still read where from the 1950's and 1960's.There where a lot of signs from Germany,many from Citys or smaller towns,also a lot of Licendsplates from around the world.
Next destination on our trip was Whitehorse with a stopover in Teslin.A fairly smooth ride with no wild animals on the road but beautiful scenery and still sunny sky.We had our first Rhubarb-pie a la mode on the way,hmm,yummi. But then came some road constraction,dust,dust and more dust,so we had to wash d0ewn our RV in Teslin.
Whitehorse,the Capital of Yukon,was interesting.We did a trip to the Miles Canyon,what a breathtaking sight.So we drove douwn to the suspention bridge,walked over and hiked about a mile along the Yukon river through the canyon. Next day we toured the SS Klondike,and later took a 2 hour boattrip on the Yukon river and through the Miles canyon,just georgious. On the way home we took a pizza,put it in the oven and voila,dinner finished,tasted real good after a busy day.
