July 9/10 - gw

Not able to get on the web last nite.

July 9 - Temps in the 60's getting into mid 80's. Partly cloudy. Got pretty hot in the p.m.

Great day though a short day - only 160 miles. Got to see all the signs posted in Watson Lake. Pretty interesting to see all the folks who have made the trek and put memorabilia up. Hit some road construction along the way. Saw a number of "mirror lakes" that were fantastic. I think Rusty already posted pics.

July 10 - Temps in the low 50's all day until late p.m. then into the 60's. Looked like rain all day; heavy overcast. We were on wet roads part of the time but it did not rain on us. Even with the overcast and heavy cloud cover, the scenery was out of this world. Rode along the mountains all day, saw glaciers, waterfalls, lakes, etc. Mountains were ringed with clouds all the way. We arrived in Stewart after 275 miles today by about 1:30 p.m. Later this afternoon we will head across the boarder into Hyder (furthest Southern town in Alaska) for dinner and hopefully to see the bears trying to get at the salmon. Tomorrow we head for Prince George. Just a couple more days into Vancouver.

Rusty was quite taken with the glacier we saw. Hopefully he can post a pic or two. All going well.
