By the time I reached Watson Lake, though it was still early in the day, I was exhausted. I’d put in a lot of miles on little rest and Whitehorse was still 322 miles away. I decided to take an afternoon of rest. Darleen at the Big Horn Hotel was more than happy to assure me that I’d made a good decision, I was on the leading edge of the tourist season. A good hot shower and a meal at Kathy’s Restaurant put any doubts to rest. I walked around town and made a few images for the sake of documentation.

Until I stopped at this rest area…
