Day 2

Quote of the day: "This road sucks." John Barona (referring to the Alcan or Alaska Highway at 6:45am after driving for about 10 minutes)

Our day began early. We left Beaver Creek at 6:35am. The day was loooooooooooooong! We split the driving - I drove a million hours and John drove the other million. :) We arrived at our final destination for the night at 10pm. We arrived in Watson Lake at 8:30pm, and proceeded to check every hotel, motel and b & b for a vacancy - nada. We ended up backtracking about 18 miles to Nugget City where we stayed in a little cabin at the Northern Beaver Post. It was described as a 4-Star cabin, but we only had power until 12:30am, so the 4-Star description was lost on me.

Note to Nugget City..... you should change your name to Mosquito City. Just a thought. The mosquitos are INSANE there..... and I grew up in Alaska.

RVs passed: Alaska, Virginia, Alberta.

Wildlife sightings: moose, a baby bear, a red fox and a large grey cat of some sort.
