July 7th & 8th - Atlin to Iskut

July 7th - Sat - Traveling (Alaska Hwy)
We drove from Atlin to the junction of Hwy 37 (Cassiar Hwy) today. Stayed at the Baby Nugget RV park which is about 14 miles from Watson Lake. Celebrated my birthday by washing the rigs, doing laundry and catching up on my blog - exciting huh?! On the way, we took a break and walked into Rancheria Falls which we had done on the way to Alaska. The snow patches from the previous walk turned into mosquitoes on this trip.

July 8th - Sun - Traveling (Cassiar Hwy)
We made a little detour into Watson Lake this morning for propane and a few groceries before heading down the Cassiar.
Larry & Terry looked at maps before we left Skagway and decided we would meet in Jade City unless we could get cell phone service and make other plans. Well, we do not have cell phone service and Larry & Barb were not at Jade City by 1:30 so we decided to carry on. We ended up at Iskut which is 198 miles from the junction with the Alaska Hwy. It was a tough 198 miles - bumpy pavement, bumpy gravel and mud when it rained. Sure glad we cleaned up the rigs yesterday! A guy camped beside us tonight was washing his rigs in front of us last night and he is the same mudball that we are.
The sun just decided to stay out for a while so we took a long walk through the trees to a lake. Very nice. A guy was fishing and had caught a couple of small, throw-back trout but did not get any more while we were there.
