Yukon Delights

Along our rout in the Yukon we had to stop at the Hot Springs in Liard. Its a short walk from the campsite to get to a boarded swimming area that has natural hotsping bubbling from the volcanic tubes nearby. It so hot that you really struggle to get to the top of the pool, in fact the challenge is to collect a stone from the cool pool and take it to the top. As you approach you can see the water bubbling\boiling in front of you. We didn't manage it! The views are stunning as is the wild life on route; Grizzly, Black Bear, Moose and Buffalo line up along the road side for your delight.

On a more pressing note we seemed to have developed a problem with Taz' 650. It runs fine but there is a strange noise and few little niggles. As we have bumped in to many bikers on this leg of our journey they all have had a look, no diagnosis as yet, so we are going to limp the next few hundred miles into White Horse and get it checked out by some mechanics. The roads are well used and there is always fellow travelers here ready to help or give a lift or even transport the bike on the back of a truck.

Tonight we stay in a type of Hostel, which is in fact the oldest building in Watson Lake that was once Royal Canadian Air Force accommodation. 1050's music plays in the background with pictures of the winged heros don the walls.
