Sign Forests and Great Divides

It is interesting what small towns will do differentiate themselves. Vegreville has its World's Biggest Easter Egg; Vulcan its Enterprise statue; and Cranbrook its Big Truck. Here in Watson Lake, they have created a sign forest. It is a park around the Vistor's centre where people bring signs that they have happened to purloin from faraway places. The latest count has 16000 signs here. Sixteen thousand of anything is a lot, and even though this attraction seems contrived,
it is impressive.

Today we crossed over the continential divide. If you are a raindrop, depending on which side of the hill you fall, you will wind up in either the Pacific or Arctic oceans. For such a significant geographic feature, especially in the larger-than-life wilderness up here, it was notable only in how unimpressive was. Whereas Kicking Horse Pass and Vermillion Pass are quite dramatic,
this just seemed like any other hill on the road.

We found a small campground to set up in before Teslin, and will be heading to Whitehorse tomorrow.
