7-31-09 Watson Lake, YT

7-31-09: As we were driving out of Stewart on highway 37a, the family was lucky enough to see a mountain goat trotting along the road and moments later, a wolf standing beside the roadway. We were unable to photograph them since they escaped into the brush shortly after spotting them. This was the highlight of our day since the rest was spent making our way to Watson Lake, Yukon Territory (YT).

The kids liked walking through The Signpost Forest where tourists can drop off a sign from their home area. Dad also took pictures of some forest fires that were burning in the general vicinity as well as along our route. We set up camp west of Watson Lake, made and ate dinner quickly, and retreated to our tent due to an assortment of pesky, biting, flying pests at our site.
