Day 27

Monday – One thing I forgot yesterday. In Whitehorse and the surrounding areas they had their first killer frost on Saturday morning. We had seen evidence of frost on Friday in the higher elevations. Saturday night was the first time it actually got dark over night since we were in Minnesota. The locals are saying that they should have their first snow for the season within six weeks. I think it best that we are heading south.
This morning it was raining when we woke up and rained off and on all day. I changed the plugs, wires, cap and rotor this morning and now the motor home runs great again. Till I had all this done and we hung our sign at the “Sign Forest” in Watson Lake we got word that the road to Hyder, Alaska is open so we headed south via the Cassiar Highway (rt. 37). What a trip that was! Mix in a sometimes narrow road with flooded areas, landslides, new road construction, repaired washouts miles of dirt roads with so many potholes that you cannot avoid them all, steep grades up and down all while it is raining. We didn’t leave Watson Lake till 12:15pm so till we got 350 miles down the road in those conditions it was 10:30 till we pulled in a rest area at Bell1 and called it a day. The last few hours it did clear off and we seen a rainbow and we seen six grown black bear and two cubs. Like I wrote yesterday each day is another adventure!


Our sign with the other 65,ooo

Who said you can't go mudding with a motor home?
