This blog is set up to record our adventure as we travel North America in our 5th wheel. We just retired this year and are staying at Wildwood Rv and Golf Resort.

Watson Lake,Yukon
Watson Lake is known as the "Gateway to the Yukon's", population 1,563. Watson City is also known for its Signpost Forest, which was started by Carl K. Lindley(1919-2002) of Danville,Il. a US soldier, working on the construction of Alaska Highway in 1942. He was so home sick that he posted a sign pointing toward his home town and others had done the same. Travelers are still adding signs to the collection, which numbered 61,298 in September 2006. Visitors are encouraged to add a sign to the Signpost City.

If you wanted to stay in Watson Lake over the winter, (a) would your 5th wheel be warm enough?, and (b) are there any W/Lake campgrounds that stay open - with or without hookups? - all winter? Thanks...& happy trails! Alan
