Teslin, Yukon Territory, Canada

     It was another beautiful, sunny day today with no clouds in the sky.  We have been told that the weather is usually cloudy and rainy this time of year.  We slept late today and had another shorter drive.  We didn't see animals on the road today.  We stopped for a break at Rancheria Falls along a fast flowing river.  However, due to the fact that most of the water in the rivers is from glacial melt, they get higher as the summer sun gets warmer.  It is always nice to get for a little hike to break up the driving.  Our Milepost is good at telling us if there is room in the parking area off the road for big rigs to turn around.  We have seem so many really big Class A motor homes pulling full size cars so we are certainly not the largest on the road.
    Our campground tonight is on Teslin Lake.  There is a nice breeze off the lake to keep the mosquitoes at bay.  As we were setting up Rick walked into the corner of one of the slide outs.  He gave himself a 3 corner gash in his forehead which bled a fair amount.  After some ice and pressure, we got the bleeding stopped but he will have quite the lump and bruise for a few days.  I have no idea where we would find first aid if we had a real problem.
   We planned to visit a museum today, but it was closed for the weekend so we came back to the campground and sat in our lawn chairs looking at the lake.  I found a hard wire connection for the Internet in the laundry room and finally got some emails from home.  If I had known that I was going to be hauling my computer into so many odd places to hook up to the Internet I probably would have purchase a lighter, smaller laptop.  Ah well, it is great to hear from home.
