Watson Lake

After leaving the Liard Hot Springs, we traveled a few hours up the road to Watson Lake, Yukon, Canada.  This is our first visit to a city in the Yukon.  There doesn't seem to be too much in Watson Lake, but they do have cell phone coverage and a laundry.  Watson Lake is known for its "Signpost Forest".  It was started in 1942 by a homesick U.S. Army GI working on the Alaskan Highway, who put up a sign with the name of his hometown and the distance.  Today there is well over 77,000 signs of all types posted in the "forest".   Actually, now there is over 77,001 signs posted in the forest.  I added a Camp KnoKoma sign to the forest.
