June 11, 2016 North To Alaska Day 5

It didn't rain on us overnight in Hyder but it began sprinkling when we finally got all the bikes packed up and on the road. 
  It was a good thing that we came down that road in the sunshine the day before as all the beautiful views were hidden today.  Boy was it nice to see the sunshine at the end of the tunnel of clouds.
 By the time we headed north on the Cassiar Highway the weather was cooperating again. It was a beautiful day. We stopped for lunch at a pull out on a neat lake.
 It was time to stop again at Jade City. They had free hot coffee!  Someone (Cindy and Dave) had to check out the rocks!  I guess we'll be seeing Jade cabochons this winter in Quartzsite.

Lyon and his bear friend
When Hwy 37 ended we went east to Watson Lake to see the Sign Forest.  Lyon at the entrance
 Here's Wayne
 I'm ready to check it out!
 Look what we found... 
 It is a maze.   You could get lost in there for hours!!! 
 Then it was off to our first Yukon Territory Campground. When we got to the group site we found a covered pavilion!  Yeah!  Big enough to put up all our tents, although Lyon's little one ended up on top of a table!!! It gave us a chance to make sure all our gear was dry.
