Day 20 Monday, 7/6: We have reconsidered our route after leaving here. May stay on the Alaska Highway until we get to Whitehorse and then go north. May skip the gravel/paved Campbell Highway since the Dempster will be ALL gravel and that is a long trip up and back. Used the RZR and went to town again. Checked out their “department store”, an auto parts store and the grocery store. Went back to the Sign Forrest and put up our sign and took lots of pictures. There are over 66,000 signs there now and it’s fun to look at them. It would take weeks to see them all though. Our’s is made out of steel and has COVE OR 1150 cut into it by my nephew Rick in Gresham. He did a great job and it will last forever! The 1150 is the miles from here to Cove.
Met up with the couple from Florida, Fran and Ken, at the grocery store and we went on a nice ATV ride with them on a somewhat overgrown logging road just south of town. We had the sawed-off shotgun and they had the bear spray so we felt fairly safe…. Glad we didn’t have to use either… Did see lots of Moose poop along the way.
At the end of the road (about 12 miles in) we had a snack and enjoyed the view then drove back to camp.
Cleaned up a bit, visited with Fran and Ken (really nice couple), had dinner and called it a day…
