Day 4 - Aug 7: Resting and Sight Seeing in Watson Lake

Day 4 is a rest day at Watson Lake, Yukon Territory. It gives people a chance to do maintenance and oil changes and the like. It also gives everyone a chance to see the area.

The Sign Forest is always a big draw. Judging from the photos people have posted on Facebook, it has growing considerable since Mike and I stopped back in 1979!

Another big attraction for the AC'12 group is the Watson Lake airport. A large terminal was built in 1942 that is now housing a museum. I have been enjoying Donna's photos that she has been posting to the AC'12 facebook page.

A newer attraction is the Northern Lights Centre. How cool it must be to lay back and watch the show.

I got an email from Mike last night with a few pictures. They will be out of "internet" range for a bunch of days as they head north to Dawson Creek.
