Watson Lake, Yukon Territory


Today we reached one of our goals for this trip.  The Signpost Forest in Watson Lake started in 1942 when a homesick US Army Engineer erected a sign bearing his name and distance to his hometown.  Since then, over 65,000 visitor have posted their own street signs, license plates, and other creative souvenirs.  As of today, make that 65,001.

Click here for a slideshow of unusual signs, international signs, and signs from places we have lived in or near.


Following this, another night in a wonderful rest stop along a lake on the Alaska Highway.  Tomorrow we reach Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory.
