5 September 2009, Teslin, British Columbia, Canada



My goal for today is Watson Lake. It would be great if I could make it. I got up, looked out the window and it was raining. I slept in until 8:00 a.m. because I stayed up working on my blog too long last night. I packed up my bags and carried them to the bike. I went to remove my bike cover and it started raining and that pretty much was the day. Rain and more rain. I couldn’t do much sightseeing because of the rain and the fog. The guy that ran the hotel and restaurant kind of had a lot of responsibility. He registered the guests, cleaned the rooms, did the cooking and was the waiter. I suspect it was late in the season and tourist season was winding down. Most of these hotels are seasonal and by September most of the staff is laid off or leave for their winter jobs somewhere. I didn’t make it to Watson Lake. I stopped in Teslin for the night. It was 7:00 p.m. and I was two or three hours north of it. I think common sense came into play here even though I really would have like to have been there. I unloaded my bags from the bike, took them into the room, hung up my riding clothes to dry, brushed my one tooth and went to bed.
