Spring 1997 - Cincinnati to Yukon
Journals - 20 June 1997
Day 81 - Hythe, Alberta
20 June 1997 (gloomy; mileage = 11.9) -- A - We slept pretty late, since
it was raining and windy. By the time we packed up, it had stopped raining
long enough for the tent to be dry (thanks to the wind). We went to the
grocery and headed back to the nice shelter at the campground. Only it was
occupied by lads from the too-close high school, drinking large bottles of
beer and smoking. It was apparently exam day. Jason, who lives on a nearby
reservation, was quite talkative and told us of his past problems and
future aspirations. We asked them about their use of metric. It seems more
intuitive for them, but they still use a mixture. Example: km and liters,
but pounds and feet/inches also. The sun started shining but it didn't last
long. The wind had shifted to be mostly head wind again and Chris wasn't
interested in battling it again today, so we stopped here at their nice
campground! The bathroom is in a railroad car. No luck with the Mexican
food quest at the grocery, though!
