Spring 1997 - Cincinnati to Yukon
Journals - 30 June 1997
Day 91 - Coal River, Yukon
30 June 1997 (drizzle; cloudy; mileage = 37.2) -- A - There were some
people partying at the campground last night. Gee, and we thought we were
in the middle of nowhere! They were playing loud country music and laughing
and carrying on. Oh well. We finally got to sleep. And it rained while we
were asleep -- who would've ever guessed it would do that?! We got up and
went to the hot springs. That was really cool! Hot, I mean. It smelled
sulphury, just as Chris remembered. We all got in, along with lots of other
people. It was really neat. There were different pools of water and they
were varying degrees of hot. I didn't want to leave! I think it made us all
tired. Susan and Hanspeter got headaches from it. I was a little dizzy, but
I'm used to HOT showers, I guess! We rode the 60 km to the campsite pretty
quickly. We had some tail wind and pretty level roads. Some was dirt and
some was mud, which slowed us down and got us dirty, but we still got here
early. I showered right after we got the tent up and Chris cooked pancakes
for dinner. Very tasty. Even the Swiss were impressed! Chris spent lots of
energy on the German dictionary (and the human ones) learning some words in
German. It's so interesting talking to these two. I will really miss them
when we separate! Chris is off having his shower now and I'm ready to write
some letters and get to sleep. X - It was VERY windy last night. We were
very happy with the tent. It is great in high wind. This campsite is cheap,
nice for tents, and the young guy who seems to be in charge is very nice.
That's nice!
