Day 12 was an easy drive from Watson Lake, YT to Whitehorse,
YT. We pulled out of Baby Nugget
Campground at 9:20 AM and it was 59 degrees and sunny. We saw names and messages in rocks along the
ditches for several miles out of town.
They were started in the summer of 1990 by a Ft Nelson swim team, and
travelers have been adding to it ever since.
The road was smooth and gently rolling and we made good
time. We stopped at Rancheria
Falls. It was a nice gravel and
boardwalk trail back to the falls. We spent
about an hour there and took several pictures.
We reached Teslin Lake and first had to cross Nisutlin Bay
Bridge. It is the longest water span on
the Alaska Highway at 1,917 feet. Teslin
Lake is 86 miles long and averages 2 miles across and has an average depth of
194 feet. This thing went along parallel
to the road forever.
We reached Whitehorse at 3:30 and checked into the Hi
Country Campground for two nights.
Before we spotted the 5th Wheel, we wash it. Boy was it dirty. After spotting the camper, we drove through
Whitehorse but almost everything was closed.
That was OK, because we planned on spending the next day checking out
the sights in town.
We are starting to notice how late the daylight lasts. We took a quick walk around the campground at 10:15 PM and the sun was still shining bright. We closed our curtains and went to bed

I have really enjoyed the photos. I tried to call Mom's cell and got busy signals and was able to leave a message one day. Hope she got it okay. I really like the photos with Mom and Dad.
