Salmon bake....mmmmm good.

Zaph and I had a leisurely walk this morning. We headed out from the campground and went down a side road just past the campground. Now the campground is 3 km outside of Watson Lake (population 1,794), so Zaph and I were surprised to see street lights on this road. It turned out to be a subdivision (probably at least 1 acre lots). There were some amazing log homes and one huge A-frame house. Some of the homes backed onto a lake — very nice. As we headed west we entered the Cassiar Mountains, so many beautiful views. Unfortunately, the rain came so not a lot of great opportunities for photos. Our destination today is Mukluk Annie’s Salmon Bake. I read about the restaurant in The Milepost and was intrigued — they offer free RV parking and a free boat ride on the lake. Colin was very excited about the “free parts”. We arrived and sure enough overnight parking is free. We found a couple of spots with views of the lake and as it is still early in the season not too crowded. Then we headed in to try the restaurant. We were not disappointed — the salmon / ribs / pork chops / steak / burgers are grilled over a wood fire. All of us had the rib / salmon combo....mmmmm good! You even get a chocolate brownie for desert (it would pass Jack’s chocolate brownie test).

While Zaph and I were enjoying our walk, the RCMP paid a visit to Colin and then to Ed (Colin ratted him out!). Apparently, while Zaph and I were having pleasant dreams at midnight Colin and Ed decided to look for unsecured WiFi in town as Colin needed to send a file to his daughter and Ed wanted to add pictures to our journal. They found WiFi outside of one of the local hotels but before they could access the internet the owner of the hotel came out and asked them to leave. They left as instructed but he followed them back to the campground. In the morning he called a complaint into the RCMP (I guess there’s not a lot of crime in Watson Lake so they went out right away). Apparently, the people of the north take their internet seriously!



It's even pretty in middle of a rain storm.
