Yesterday we drove from Dease Lake to Watson Lake. We left around 10:00AM. We stopped at Jade City where they mine jade and ship all over the world (see picture). The scenery ranged from ordinary to beautiful. We saw one bear. In Watson Lake we saw the sign forest where people from all over the world have posted signs. Originally a soldier during WW2 posted a sign with the distance to his home town. Since then it has grown to an acre at least of signs. At 9:15 PM the sun was still 10 or 15 degrees above the horizon. We are gaining up to 30 minutes of daylight per day. The last picture is Watson Lake at 9:15PM.
We had our worst roads of the trip so far. The road was pretty narrow in some spots. The worst was a five mile section of washboard gravel just before Watson Lake. Watson Lake is above the 60th parallel only 30 degrees below the North Pole.
