Day 17: Watson Lake, Yukon

The day began bright and early with an 8:00 Travel briefing.  Joining us for the briefing were millions of mosquitos.  This was one of our quickest briefing thank  goodness. 

Betty was prepared for the Travel Briefing (Mosquito protection)

Everyone listening, taken notes and fighting off the mosquitos

The weather was great as we headed out for another day in quest of animal sightings.  The day did not disappoint.  All members in the Caravan were able to make at least one sighting.  We saw several bears, individual buffalo and even a small heard.  It was a great experience to see these animals in their natural habitat.

As we approached Watson Lake we entered the Yukon.

After setting up at our parking lot camping location we had some free time.  Some took a brief tour of town, others went to the Arctic Lights Show or hung out at camp.
In the late afternoon we gathered together at the Sign Post Forrest.  It was amazing to see how many people have posted individual signs.  Some of our group brought their own.

We ended another great day on the trail with a 7:00 travel briefing with threatening rain but happy spirits.
