Muncho Lake, BC - Watson Lake, Yukon

Day 9 – Sunday, August 7 2005
Muncho Lake PP, BC – Watson Lake, Yukon
Miles Driven: 180

It was overcast with scattered rain showers as we left Muncho Lake. The highway follows the lake for several miles and then the Laird River, a very pretty glacier river. We spotted a wolf on the edge of the woods but he was too far away to get a picture. About 50 miles before Watson Lake there were wild buffalo along the highway; some of them were really big! We arrived in Watson Lake, Yukon home of the famous sign post forest. Tim had made a sign that said "Donnelly Id, 1,726 mi", but after taking pictures with it at the forest we decided to take it home with us. It is now proudly displayed on our back porch. We spent the night in an overpriced motel room but had a good meal in their restaurant. I am going to post pictures of the sign post forest, entering the Yukon, and the buffalo.
