Hello Yukon! We had been on the road for 7 days and visited two Canadian Provinces (BC and AB) so far. The Yukon welcomed us with all its might… mosquito-might! This caused my first and only meltdown on our road trip home. I found this bumper sticker very fitting:
Once we left the campground that morning we headed to Watson Lake and my day improved greatly. We splurged on breakfast at a greasy spoon in town and then headed to the Sign Post Forest.
This famous landmark started during the construction of the Alaska Highway back in 1942 when a homesick soldier added his hometown sign to the existing army signpost. Today there are more than 50,000 signs put up by travelers from all over the world. I saw signs from places I have lived in, like Italy and Canada,
signs of places I have visited in Europe, signs of places that reminded me of friends and there was even a sign of the place we were headed to in the near future to get married (Petoskey, MI).
There were many funny signs
and I even found one put up by a Venezuelan couple!
Needless to say we felt compelled to leave our mark on this forest too, so we grabbed one of the Rove’s plates and proceeded to add our contribution to this unique place:
And there it is! I wonder when we’ll be able to drive past Watson Lake again and look up our little sign 🙂
On the road again and headed to Whitehorse, but more of that on the next post.
