Daily Narrative  Today again began early with resolve to get those sleeping bags down off of the roof.  We stopped in Watson lake and wandered through the picturesque sign forest.  The forest now apparently boasts over 40,000 signs, many of which appear to be stolen.  We also walked through the Watson Lake visitor's center which has a nice, and brief, collection of history on the Alaskan-Canadian highway.  A few hours on up the road we came to Laird Hot Springs, where we took a very pleasant and smelly dip.  There are two pools here, the Alpha being lower and more populated, and the Beta being deeper, less populated and murkier.  We chose Beta.  Brian is a big fan of the Beta pool.  We continued on into the province of British Columbia, up and over Summit Lake pass and down into Fort Nelson.  A couple of failed attempts at securing lodging led us the Buckinghorse River Provincial Park at about 10:00pm.  Brian promises not to drive so late in the days to come and dug out the sleeping bags.
