Lazing at Muncho Lake and progressing on the Al-Can






Today we passed many milestones--2,500 since we left home, to be exact! Around noon we crossed the 60th North latitude, 23.5 degrees from home with 6.5 to go to reach the Arctic Circle. Then, around afternoon teatime we entered Yukon soon after seeing our first grizzly and caribou on the trip!

Before reaching Watson Lake, we spent four days at turquoise green Mucho Lake, surrounded by the Northern Canadian Rockies. Although the lake was just 56 degrees F. we dipped our toes in and enjoyed the chance--thanks to generous-hearted neighbors from Grand Prairie, to paddle around a little in their kayaks. Shared stories and campfire time and took more photos than would ever fit into a blog. Did I mention that we had to pump our water?

Enjoy the view!
