A Day Full of Sightings

We got another early start on the Alaskan Hwy. Today we were lucky to see live animals--our first was a moose. We celebrated by eating cinnamon rolls at the famous Testa Lodge!

Our next sighting was of 4 caribous--2 mommies and 2 babies,then we saw 3 Stone sheep ( first cousins to the big horn sheep) and then we saw three herds of Wood Bison. Plus a bull that rolled in the dirt.




Our final sighting was a convoy of 1942 military vehicles that are making a 70th Anniversary Run of the Alaskan Hwy. The vehicles were built in 1942. We not only sighted them, we spent the night with them at The Downtown RV Park at Watson Lake, Yukon.
