Summer 1997 - Yukon to California
Journals - 20 July 1997
Day 10
20 July 1997 (mileage = 53.5; Klaklakama Lake, B.C.) -- A - It was raining
on and off this morning, so we stayed in the tent longer than we really
should have. We got water and due to Kelly's advice, we got a platypus
filled also. We made it back up the gravel hill and almost out to the main
road before it started trying to rain. We had that on/off sprinkling for
quite some time. We had very nice scenery. At one point there was a
mountain range sticking out above some clouds. They looked to be floating.
We stopped at a pull-out just as it was clearing up and had noodles for
lunch. I made the comment that it rather smelled like an outhouse, but
there weren't any there. Later, Chris walked down a trail near us to wash
the dishes in the lake and came back with the still-dirty dishes and the
news that it pretty much was an outhouse down there, only without a
building and a hole. Yuck! We stopped at a couple of very nice rest areas.
We talked to some people at one who gave us some water. Once the sun came
out, we started drinking a lot and even with the extra we started with, we
probably won't have enough. We got to this little logging-sponsored
campsite to find only 1 site available. It's gravel, but OK. The map was
not accurate, so we backtracked and wasted about 5 km to find it.
