Beware of the Road!

Today is a rest day at Dawson Peaks Lodge and Campsite, (yikes..what happened?? Not a link!) so as we sit here in peaceful tranquility, I thought we'd give you a taste of the daily road. Talking about tastes, one of the biggest treats in years is the rhubarb pie baked at the lodge here! It is worth a stop, if you are a rhubarb pie lover as I am. Add a scoop of home-made ice-cream, and ahhhh!
Yesterday we traveled 150 miles from Watson Lake to Dawson Peaks. On the way were these signs warning us:
Steep Grades Ahead to 9%
Sudden S Curves
Road Narrows
Falling Rocks
Slow to 40K (25mph)
Buffalo Herd on Road (herd grazing peacefully)
Deer on Road
Caribou Herd
Horses....and
Frost Heaves
indicating road surface disrupted by permafrost (photo of ubiquitous signs of imminent "Heavee-Jeevies" as Ray calls them!) However, all driving is safe and slow.
