Already Sunday, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
It seems as though we have driven constantly for the last few days. Their has been no internet or cell phone service during those times. It is incredible how huge British Columbia and the Yukon are. Last night we decide to stop driving in Watson Lake (okay I decided we should stop for the night--it was 8pm. The time doesn't matter up here though. You can't tell from the sun what time it is because the days are so long now. I think it may have gone down at about 2am into a dusk like state. Then was back up at about 5am even though it is pouring down rain today!
We were glad we made the stop because while putting our sign up in signpost alley we noticed a wheel bearing had gone out on the trailer. So we may be here til Monday unless there is a parts store open? The roads were pretty rough yesterday and we probably drove for about 10 hrs.
The children are always excited when we get to stop at a campground. We plug into electricity, turn the radio and dance around in our little bitty space! Just so glad to have electricity and water freely available! Oh, that's right our water pump that pushes water up for the sink, toliet, tub went out a day or so ago. And there is just nowhere to buy parts anywhere close to here (seriously)!!
The advantages to this rural area has been the oppourtunity to see bears, moose, stone sheep, and bison on our drive.
We put up the only sign we had (on the front of Winnie there was a T for Tennessee from the last owners) to be a part of signpost alley here in Watson Lake...I'll try to load a pic and you can try to find it!
Once again, happy father's day and here's to making it another 800+ miles into Alaska!!
the Winnie Gypsies!
