Yesterday we rode from Fort Nelson to Watson Lake. The scenery was spectacular with wildlife such as black bears, wood bison, goats and even a fox. Along the way we stopped in Liard Hot Springs. The water near the source was very hot but quite nice a little downstream. We stayed at the Air Force Lodge in Watson Lake, the oldest building in town. The washrooms and showers were down the hall which reminded some of nursing residence. For the longest day some stayed up to 11:00 but it never really got dark. Today we rode to Whitehorse. It was quite cool especially going over the continental divide. There were a couple of gravel sections of a few kilometres each but no problem for experienced riders such as us. Again we had some showers on the route but the scenery is very enjoyable.
