Day 3&4 - June 12&13, 2009 - Ft Nelson to Watson Lake to Whitehore

Gordon: No internet service yesterday. Bought new camera in Ft Nelsen...........thank God. We made our way to Whitehorse via Watson Lake today. Yesterday was warm (22C to 27C) but today cooled down to about 15C but at least not much rain. Lotsa daylite with light until 11pm. We've been motelling it until tonight. Mike finally got me into a camp ground just outside of Whitehorse. Its actually a nice spot but I will let you know how the night goes. The roads have been good with only 4 construction zones so far. Weather has been great, roads have been good, company has been mediocre.

Mike: We've been pretty lucky with the weather, it's been great so far. Lots of other riders on the road, most from the US (Chicago, Seattle, and as far South as Miami). Origanialy we had planned to camp in Watson Lake but couldn't find a facility up to Gordon's standards. Tonight were camping about 20km East of Whitehorse.
