On the Alaska Highway you have limited choices for overnight stopping points. On the way up with the Griffins we saw many RV parks but there was a wide range of quality. Same with motels and hotels coming back, in fact there may be fewer of these. Rather than taking a chance of not having a room each night we booked places right down to the US before leaving Alaska.
Watson Lake was the proof of this being a wise move.
Before that part though, Donna wanted me to write about the wonderful vegetable beef soup we had on the way to Watson Lake at Dawson Peaks Resort and RV park near Teslin, Yukon.
As we drove along the highway towards the junction with Route 37 we wondered what the situation would be. The businesses around there seemed to be open. Then right at the intersection a sign read, "Route 37 is closed". We went by slowly and could see a backup of vehicles just past the corner leading south. We had heard that from time to time convoys of waiting travelers would be taken through if the visibility and fire danger was not a factor.
Three motorcycle riders turned that way behind us as we went on to Watson Lake.
