Day 22 July 23, 2025 Teslin Yukon to Dease Lake British Columbia 295 miles
It’s mostly cloudy today. It rained some in the night but everything is still covered in mud. Good that it doesn’t show as badly as it could.
We stopped for gas at the Continental Divide Motel where we have stayed in the past. A group of Hells Angles motorcyclists had stopped for a break. They were so excited to see the car. They all took pictures. The gas attendant was telling everyone about the car. She had paid good attention because she had the story down really well.
The weather rained on and off all day. Never really heavy thank goodness because we still don’t have a windshield wiper installed. The droplets managed to clear off before the next storm.
The north bound traffic seems to have more motor homes. Up on the Dempster the preferred camping equipment was pickups with campers. Quite a few of those were rentals. It costs $5000.00 Canadian ($3675.00 US) for 13 days. The motor homes didn’t go up on the Dempster. Lots of motorcycles with camping gear.
A black bear ran across the road up a ways. A cub followed and then a second cub. By the time we got to the spot they couldn’t be seen. Lots of places to hide.
A little further down the road a fox was on the side of the road. It also quickly ran into the brush. It probably did not like the sounds we make.
We had to stop briefly for some one lane road work. The flagger said a bear was just in front in the brush. The driver of the car behind us was out with his camera. He said it was a cinnamon black bear. We never saw the bear.
We got to our hotel about 5:30. We went across the road to the food truck that serves chow mein, spring rolls, kebabs, and a bbq pork. The lady who runs it is Philippino. It’s the best place in town. (There are only two choices.) Both are take out only. We ate in the break area of the hotel. (No mosquitoes.)
