Just like yesterday, we got
up and out, drove 150 miles, and landed n Watson Lake (by design). In 1942, a lonely US soldier working on the
Alaska highway, put a sign on a pole with an arrow and mileage pointing to his
home town. Others followed by posting
their own signs. This has grown into a
'signpost forest' with about 80,000 signs hung by visitors from all over the
world.
Our sign is there now too. When reporting to the visitor center with our
sign, they handed us a hammer and nails and said put it anywhere we want – good
luck finding a space. We did.
We took a long walk around a
lake with an interpretive trail in search of birds. No birds but lots of spring wildflowers. Creating a separate post about wildflowers.
Camping in Watson lake is so
strange. There is a 'downtown' camp,
which is very expensive, on a dirt parking lot, one RV right next to
another. The second choice was another
dirt parking lot behind a gas station one block away. We went there for a site at the end by the
woods. They both offered wi-fi. Welllllll, do you think we could get a wi-fi
signal anywhere?? Not a chance. Note to self - take the computer into the
registration area and test the wi-fi, on the spot, right in front of them, prior
to registration. It still might not
matter. Most places report spotty wifi
and will say it's down for a few minutes.
The bottom line is that internet access is universally horrible, even in
the largest towns along Alaska Highway.
All the RVers grumble about it.
Though I bet it would look nice with a blue ceramic bezel. Think of that: platinum case, deep blue bezel and light blue dial. You could even put it on a blue alligator strap. That would look classy...Anyhow, the chronograph subdials are framed in a perfectly matching brown tone, and this rolex replica sale Cosmograph Daytona 116506 dial has stick-style hour indicators. There is just that hint of red in the rolex replica sale Cosmograph Daytona 116506 label on the dial. As always the dial looks great - legible and beautiful. So strange in a way to have a sport watch in all platinum. But the Daytona replica watches uk is as much a sport watch as the Submariner is a watch only used by the professional diver. Inside the rolex replica uk Cosmograph Daytona 116506 is the in-house made Rolex replica watches sale caliber 4130 automatic chronograph movement - and it is COSC Chronometer certified. The rear of the case - like all Rolex replica watches uk - is totally blank.
