30 June

On the road in the rain, followed by intermittent teasers of no rain. We crossed the boarder yesterda, which I forgot to mention. We're now in the Yukon Territory, traveling east and south. We stopped early today, because we reached a point of no return as far as going another 3 hours or stopping and finally getting around to doing laundry. Laundry won out, of course.

Our Milepost Guide has written that we could see bear along the stretch of road we traveled today. We saw two different solo young bears at the edge of the road, just eating vegetation. Don't know if they were male or female, because I didn't see them pee and I've learned that this is the easiest way to tell the difference without getting up close and personal. Males just do, whereas females are a lot "daintier" according to our Bear Adventures guide. It's hard to describe, but once you've seen the difference you just know.

We also saw a small herd of wild horses. Moving at a clip that didn't allow them to have their picture taken. To date, we still haven't seen a moose up close enough to get a good picture, just random far away viewings.

Here's a list of animal crossing signs we've seen to date:
Bear
Caribou
Deer
Duck
Elk
Elk
Goat
Horse
Moose
Prairie Dog
Sheep
Turtles

We camped at Yukon Motel and RV in Teslin YK.  Teslin is a little under half way to Watson Lake, or 150 miles from Whitehorse.  The campground was on Nisutlin Bay.  The bridge across the bay is the longest bridge on the Alaskan Highway.  However the bay is inland, and doesn't connect to any major body of water other than the Teslin river and lake that was glacially formed.

I don't know if there'll be a posting tomorrow, since we'll be in the boonies again.  To the point that Dease Lake is the only listing in our Trailer Life directory.  The place at Dease Lake doesn't list Internet.  So 20th century, but don't worry we're headed south and hopefully will be bringing the rain and coolness with us.
