Day 9
Since we stayed
up late last night, we slept until 8ish.
Finally got out of Watson Lake
around 11 a.m. and continued on the Alaska Highway headed toward Teslin located
in the Yukon Territory. Started out
about 58 degrees, but it got down to 42 degrees in the valleys. Along the route
we stopped at Rancheria Falls where they built a small trail and boardwalk to
view some water falls. Very quiet (except for bubbling water) and
secluded. Continued on to Teslin where
again we saw spectacular scenery. Our
journey was short today. In planning the
trip I wanted to make sure we had places reserved until after Labor Day. About 40 sites, only 8/9 occupied. However, it sits on a wonderful sight overlooking
Nisutlin Bay. Donna wanted to eat at the
local restaurant, they had a Halibut special, but we decided to eat the ½ lb of
turkey we purchased yesterday, that cost $10.50. We took a slight tour around Teslin, then
tried to update our blog, our pictures, and e-mail. We are at milepost 804. Hopefully
early to bed tonight.

ANDY’S REPORT
Took me forever to
get the peeps up. I guess whatever they were doing till all hours of night made
them tired. Had a little breakfast, Mom
made Dad some type of drink with a mermaid on the bag. We made a stop. The peeps gave me a walk and
told me to guard the house, with pleasure, heehee! As soon as they left, I was on
the bed and sleepy time. Continued on
down the road, stopped at another place with a few moving houses next to a
large lake. I had dinner, dad took me
for a walk and it’s early to bed for me as usual. Good night.

I totally agree with travelling during the "off season". Most of my travels are after Labour Day and during winter and spring. I am heading to the east coast next week but try and avoid the "touristy areas" when possible.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see/hear your thoughts on travelling to Alaska this time of the year. I don't mind travelling in the cooler weather whatsoever. In fact I generally travel all winter long in the northern climates.
Again ... some interesting and enjoyable pictures.
