Light rain in morning, had to dump tanks, late start. Plan is to meet in Watson Lake to resupply. We need groceries and I want to find some spare tubes for the road bike and some other repair items. Plus we need diesel and propane for the RV. It is a ‘far piece’ to the next town of any size. Watson Lake is the little town with the “Sign Post Forest” which we visited on the way north. It was here that Brendan had to be dragged out as he searched for signs referring to Notre Dame or other places he connected with; like Germany, Colorado, Florida Gulf Coast University, etc. It is also the location of our least liked RV Park, the “Downtown RV Park”. Actually, we have gotten a lot of laughs remembering how great it was to be squeezed in ‘slide out to slide out’ and, as Betty says “Treated as if we just fell off the turnip truck”, e.g. no Wi-Fi signal as advertised because our RV has insulation??
We had lunch at “Kathy’s Kitchen” and met Ron Donlon (??) and his wife who live only about a mile from us, Willoughby Acres, in Naples. They have been touring Alaska on a motorcycle, staying in motels and doing about a hundred or two miles a day. Sounds nice, maybe next time. All resupplied, except for propane and diesel, we had to check with several stations before we found one that had propane. It was late so we agreed to meet at a rest area just ten miles south of town. We have it all to ourselves and there is almost no road traffic. Nice! Betty pointed out that we have now become “3 digit metric midgets”, we have less than 1000 Kilometers to go.
