Today was a long drive from the Atlin Road to Watson Lake. In truth the scenery was splendid, as we passed numerous lakes and had views of mountains all day. But it is unfortunately true that after a while one gets accustomed to the scenery and its impact is lessened.

Early in the day we came across a family of black bears on the side of the road having breakfast on the rubbish thrown by careless motorists.

Tonight we have stopped just short of the town of Watson Lake, at a provincial campground on the shores of the Lake. There is slushy ice still covering most of the lake. This is another nice setting, with an abundance of free fire wood.
