Again, the same Alaska Highway we already knew until Watson Lake, where
we stopped to see all those signs. Next time I will bring one of my own to
fix there. From here on the Alaska Highway is new for us, but we had no surprises.
Actually, I would say that Cassier Highway is better to see, even through
its worst pavement, or lack of it.
We had lunch at Toad River in a place you must stop, named Toad restaurant
(how smart!!!) were the ceiling is covered with thousands of head caps.
Good food there.
The rest of the trip was uneventful and we slept at a good campsite there
Temperature
today was 54F to 68F

More loose gravel roads... they are annoying, but doable.
This one we are following the pilot car. Motorcycles can pass all the other cards in line, before the pilot car start moving
