Thursday July 29th
Well, it turns out we left the Yukon just in time. We found out this morning that the north end of the Cassiar Highway is closed just south of Watson Lake. So if we'd been a day later then we'd either have to wait or take the Alaska Highway home and that just wouldn't work with all of our plans. I guess there is a big forest fire up that way, we saw a helicopter with a water bucket but didn't see or smell any signs of a fire. I guess the wind shifted! Anyway, we were originally going to stay in Meziadin Junction for tonight and tomorrow night but apparently there is nothing there so we'll head all the way into Stewart. It was a pretty good drive and we found a nice spot to stay for two nights at the municipal campground. It has electricity but alas, no internet. After we set up camp, we walked around the town of Stewart which took about 5 minutes! Ok, maybe a bit longer than that and then mom and dad stopped for a beer and I charmed the locals.
