Day 23, Thursday, 7/9: Left camp about 8:00 and headed for Braeburn Lodge which is supposed to have wonderful cinnamon buns. We are “on a roll” with rating the buns at various spots so couldn’t pass this one up. They are huge, dinner plate size and about 5 inches high, but not nearly as good as the first one we had in HUCTesta River Resort. The one from this morning will last a week it is so big… Maybe a little butter and the microwave will improve it some.
Stopped in a little town called Carmacks around noon for fuel and they had quite a little grocery store there. Found some sausage rolls which we bought for lunch. We really like them (I don’t want to know what kind of meat they use because I have been searching for pork sausage and they don’t have it up here…). Anyway, about a ½ hour up the road we stopped and warmed them up and ate them going down the road. Very tasty! Some road construction along this route so we were delayed a bit. It has been very smoky the last few days and we have heard there are several large forest fires in the area.
Took a side road to a place called Mayo. Camping tonight at the Bedrock Motel/RV park. Lodge/motel is nice but can’t say much for the “RV park”. Not very friendly either…. Did notice that we are so far north that it never got dark during the night. Having a bit of trouble sleeping due to it being light all the time!
