We left Fairbanks on the 26th and headed south on the way home. We saw a bear sitting by the roadside acting as if he was just watching the traffic go by. Margaret took his picture, we also saw 2 more moose but we were by them before I could stop.
We spent the night at Lake creek Yukon Government Campground. There are lots of very nice government campgrounds that seem to get little use, perhaps it seems that way because of the down economy. This morning we said goodbye to Bill and Carol, they like to travel at a slower pace, not as far each day as we go. They were great traveling companions and we will miss them the rest of the trip.
The road home is just as bumpy as it was when we were going the other direction. Tonight we are Staying at the Pioneer RV Park a short distance south of Whitehorse. This place is full, it is nice but a bit close together for our liking. They do offer a good wi-fi connection and I'm sure that helps draw people in. Many of the places say they have wi-fi, but in order to use it you have to be very close to the antenna.
Thank goodness we have an electric hookup, it was warm enough the we had to use the AC.
Margaret and I are both amazed at the number of bicyclist we see pedaling with their bikes loaded with all kinds of gear far from any town. I complain about driving the distance, those folks are dedicated. I did notice that none of them appear to have a weight problem. We have seen a couple of people walking, making no effort to get a ride. One guy on a bike had his dog running along side of him.
