6/12/2016. Liard Hotsprings to past Fireside. 70 miles. Because of the vehicle problem we decided to forgo the rest day and move on. Since my rain gear and warn biking clothes were in Bud's car, which now is 2 days away, I rode in the RV all day. We dry camped in a vista along the roadway and all was well.
6/13/2016. To Watson Lake, 59 miles. I rode again in the RV and that became a good choice because it rained all night and into most of the day. Everyone looked worn out when they got to town. The RV Park didn't allow tents so we are in a motel across the street. But the adventure continues, especially for Bud and Sandy, and their car. Couldn't be fixed in Watson Lake so it had to go to Whitehorse, 5 hous away. That is a story for another time. So here we have a rest day and enjoying the sites of the town.
We are now in the Yucon and we have seen herds of Wood Bison. Males can weigh 2000 pounds and be 6 feet tall at the shoulders. They are huge when you see them and realize how small you are on your bike. They seem to linger on the roadway or just past the shoulder, so we are really close to them. Also, we are seeing more herds of Stone Sheep. They seem to be licking the salt from the road shoulders.
