We left Watson Lake on Tuesday morning and headed to Tagish, Yukon. Most of the day's drive was on the Alaska Highway. The conditions were excellent and the weather was fine.
Shortly after we got underway, we spotted a black bear grazing on the plants on the sholder of the Highway. He was a black bear but he had a funny light colored stripe of fur down his back. It looked like adolescent fur that he had not rubbed off yet. He stayed near the road for quite a while and Lyndi got a lot of pictures of him:
Just like the last few days, we had the road virtually to ourselves. As we travel west, the mountains are getting higher and we are now seeing snow on some of the mountains.
We stopped by a mountain stream for a photo:
And we found some more wildlife:
In the middle of nowhere we came upon a traffic light:
It was beining used to control one-way traffic while a washed out section of the Highway was replaced.
