Where Are We?

After one last dip into the hot springs we head north. Watson Lake is our destination today as we need to do laundry, buy groceries and send e-mail. Wildlife today was a couple of Bison grazing along side of the highway. Watson Lake’s claim to fame is the signpost forest. It was started in 1942 when a homesick US soldier put up a sign pointing to his home town of Danville, IL. Now there are more 51,800 signs. It was quite a sight seeing all of the signs especially the ones from close to home. Some of the signs are homemade and I’m sure a few of the signs were “borrowed” from towns and cities!



I hope this guy keeps grazing ... I'd hate to run into him!



Sign, sign everywhere there's a sign. (thanks Crosby Stills and Nash)
