Laurie's week 2 synopsis

Lots of driving, lots of wildlife, Laird River Hot Springs was a great place to stop and relax. The are 2 pools, the top end of the lower pool is smoking hot. Watson Lake's "Sign Forest" was amazing - 67,000 signs. Highway 4 from Watson Lake to Carmack was a poor choice. We knew that it was gravel but not like a narrow 2 lane country road, lots of pot holes, and incredibly dusty. Almost got smoked by a jackknifing 18 wheeler at a crest of a hill, and the Tire Gods didn't like my left rear tire. Did I mention it was also boring. The only redeeming feature of this road was about 7 km's of construction where we had to use 4 wheel drive. Tire was fixed by the Faro Public Works people who were great.
