The Signpost Forest -- Watson Lake, Yukon

:-)

:-)

:-)

The sign post forest is a spot that all families should go to. Inside the info center there is a small museum about the building of the Alaska Highway and the Yukon. When we went into the museum we had a little fun looking at the things in there. These included a couple of dioramas, and a number of billboards with a bunch of information on the Yukon and the highway.

Another fun part was looking at the signs and seeing all the places people came from. We saw a lot of plates from Oregon and other spots. There were license plates, wooden boards with writing on them, and a number of city limit signs. There was a plastic bottle with a note inside, nailed to one of the signposts. There were a couple of toilet seats, two spots where we saw ONE boot (not related to each other!), a smooshed soccer ball and a couple of other weird things!

We put up our own signs for The ROCK (Middle Bass Island), a license plate from Denver, and a small thing about James. If you have a sign, you can go into the visitor's center and they will let you borrow a hammer and some nails.

Every family should come here and look at the signs!
