Finally in the Yukon, getting close

Hi, Everyone on the Caravan signed their names on the white sign above me and nailed it up at Signpost Forest in Watson Lake, Yukon. There are over 60 thousand, plus signs that people put up over the years since 1942.
At our campsite last night, about 50 Buffaloos and 6 Calves just wandered in while we were having a cookout. Very docile animals, thank God. Except when Jack got between a Calf and his Mom. He had to climb up a ladder to a top of a gas tank, 8 feet in the air before she would of charged him. I couldn't figure out where he went because he was up there for about 20 minutes. Until the Leader of the pack got the Calf up and moved him down the road.
50 or so Buffaloos GO where ever they feel like and this poor motorcyclist drove thru the parking lot and dumped his bike. You can figure out the rest.


This Mom and her babe checked in just before us!
Beautiful country and we have seen 9 Bears, 4 Moose, 1 Caribou, 1 Bald Eagle, LOTS of Buffaloos and a family of Ducks.
The people on the Caravan are very nice and seems to be a good group.
Should have internet tomorrow in Teslin, Yukon and will post more pictures. We have been briefed on the up coming Train ride on the side of a mountain and Catamaran trip to a Glacier
in the next few days outside Skagway, Alaska. Should be very thrilling!
Would love to hear from you, just click on Comment and at the bottom type in a message. Thanks for ones we have gotten. Love Gail

  1. Hi Gail- your photos are wonderful. How close were you to that bear???? I love getting on your blog and finding out where you and Jack are going next. The catamaran ride will be incredible I am sure. Summer is finally here after tons of rain in June The sun is out but the temperature has been very mild for July....which I love. We went to Ffld Theater Co. last night to hear our son Andrew sing. His record comes out on Sept 22 and there will be a big celebration for the release in October. Will keep you posted. Continue to have a wonderful and safe trip and keep those pics coming!! Anne Hoover :)
