Watson Lake to Teslin, Yukon July 1, 2010

This morning dawned at 4:16 AM, sunset last night was 11:02 PM. Short night. Amazing to walk around the RV park at 10:30 PM in daylight.
Today's drive was uneventful, no wildlife, no road improvements, thankfully it was ashort day, only 165 miles. That gives us a break from the day to day stays at RV parks on this push to Alaska. We plan to enter Alaska on July 3 and be in Soldatna on the 4th.
Teslin is a little community on Teslin Lake, a long, skinny lake. We are at the north end at a RV park right on the bay. As usual there is a small office, a moderately sized restaurant, a few motel rooms and this park has about 44 RV spaces.
One interesting building has a wildlife taxidermy display of the wildlife of the Yukon. These are presented in lifelike scenes with wolves attacking a moose, a lynx chasing ptamigan. There were muskox, which I didn't know were on this continent but the sign said they're making a comeback in numbers in The Yukon and Artic tundra in Canada.
