We stayed one night at Fort Nelson, small museum, buffet, and lots of gnats!  Then we stayed One night at Laird River, Hot Springs and enjoyed that! We were then in Watson Lake one night, where they have 140,000 signs that people have posted from all over the world. We had made our sign. “Carrouges” And our group also had a big sign that we also autographed. We were also at the northern lights Museum. We moved onto Whitehorse, where we stayed two nights and it had a much bigger city. We saw the SS Klondike, and some museums and they had a cute little town and Miles Canyon.

This blog split it up, lol We had trouble leveling in the morning today and spent 45 minutes in pouring rain and then snow trying to figure it out. The parking lot was very slanted.
