Greetings from Muncho Lake, BC overcast 40 degrees.

Aggie and I drove to Watson Lake, BC and found the town interesting but had no suitable place to stay over night. We decided to continue on our trip and drove a little further and now are at Muncho Lake, BC at the Northern Rockies Lodge. We saw some very interesting sites along the way and was worth the extra driving. Below I have included some snap shots of our trip.

Happy birthday to Hailey Schmitz and happy anniversary to Ted and Linda.




At Whitehorse I sure surprised to see a giant Mountie along the road, that sure will go good with my collection of the giant cow and crane.




I was able to get the mud washed off the car and it now looks a little better. Had to buy new windshield wipers. The mud and rain take a toll on them.

This is the only auto repair shop in Watson Lake. I am no mechanic but I think I would try to fix it myself first.

This is the famous sign post forest in Watson Lake. It all started when the military was building the road and the soldiers were home sick and started putting signs up from their home town. As of today there are 69,000 signs posted from all over the world.




Aggie and I saw a lot of buffalo on the way, the first two we saw were fighting next to the road.



Then we saw a bear lying next to the road getting warm off the blacktop.



We even saw a buffalo taking a dump.
and buffalo lying along the road bedded down for the night.


And as we all know if you see that many buffalo you will always have a fair amount of this.
This is what the Indian Chief would send me out to look for when I was little and had been captured by the Indians. This was definitely a good sign.
That's all for this morning
out
