Watson Lake, Day One of Two

Day 19 Sunday, 7/5: Up early and out of camp by 6:45. Another Critter day. 9-10 black bear, bison, moose, grizzly bear, and very few RV’s because we were on the road early. Into Watson Lake by 10:30 am in camp. Laundry (3 loads!) and clean up time. Much better net access at this RV park. Will get this posted before all the other people arrive… We plan to take the RZR into town this afternoon.

Continue: We did take the RZR into Watson Lake and looked for a place to have lunch. There is only one place and it is called Archie’s Fast Food! He makes a pretty good hamburger (or buffalo burger if you prefer) and great fries. We tried the poutine which is fries with 3 kinds of cheese and brown gravy over all. Very unhealthy but good! It is a Canadian thing that Nathan told us about and we were glad to try it. Bob had a rum and butter milk shake that he said was quite good too. Went by the Sign Post Forrest and it is always so amazing to see the thousands and thousands of signs that people have left. We are going back tomorrow to post ours. Met a couple from Florida (originally, they have been on the road 20 years!) and they have an ATV and wanted to go riding tomorrow so we are going to do it. Weather is still wonderful (almost hot today) and the bugs are much easier to deal with. Plan to stay here at this campground until Tuesday morning and then head north on the Campbell highway which is 60% paved and 40% gravel. Didn’t bother to wash the camper/truck/trailer here because it is just going to get dirty again. Having some wine and working on dinner….
