Alaska Day 16

We were again up early to head north to Watson Lake, Yukon Territory the home of the Sign Post Forrest. The only gas station in town wasn't open yet, John said there is a gas station that they used back in 2006 about 40 miles away so off we went. We arrived to find a burned out shell of a gas station. He then said there was another 57 miles farther down the road. Dave and I knew we couldn't make that so we headed back to wait for the station to open. Don followed us until we decided to pull over and wait for him to bring back gas instead of pushing it too far and running out in a bad spot on the road as we knew we couldn't make it the full 40miles back. Don did a great job rescuing us with plenty of gas. John had decided to push on to the other gas station 57 miles away. Well it turn out that John over estimated his range and ran out all by his lonesome. He was forced to wait about an hour before a nice lady with a full 5 gal gas can stopped and offer him help. We met up at the gas station, topped off our tanks and were on our way. We started running into unpaved road today some parts are too bad other are quite rough. Saw about 5 more black bear and one grizzly. 441 miles today
