Day 3

Day 3- Whitehorse, YT to Muncho Lake, BC ( drove about 9 hours)

Today was one of my favorite days of the trip. We saw a lot of really neat stuff. First we stop in Watson Lake and walked around the sign forest. There were so many signs from travelers from all over the globe. I wish we would have thought ahead and made a sign to post. Next time I guess! We then crossed into British Columbia. The mountains are so intense and beautiful. Crazy green lakes sorrounded by the mountains are the best. I took so many pictures today-I couldn't share them all but here is a small taste.

Wild buffalo
I found out later that there is only about 250 wild buffalo still in British Columbia. We got lucky and saw about 50 of them grazy along the side of the road. Axel liked the baby ones and I liked watching the roll in the dirt.

Another great view

Munch Lake, BC
 We stopped at this place last time we drove to Alaska. It's a lodge on the most amazing green lake. They have float planes that will take you sight seeing or flying fishing. The boys gotmuch needed play time along the rocky beaches. The weather was great-so far on the trip it's been in the 70's. That's prefect summer weather! Last time we stopped here it was rainy so we didn't get the real feel of the place. In the BC they have a 18% tax on every thing. Ouch! Glad we were only here for one day. We had a great steak dinner and the boys enjoyed chicken nuggets with fires. What else-right?!

Hanging out in the cabin

This was the little cabin we rented. So cute


The sign forest
 The pictures don't do it justice. There were SO many sings. We could have walked around for hours to read them all. Sorry my pictures are in the wrong order. 10 minutes out of the car....back in for more traveling!
