Signpost Forest in Watson Lake
Some signs in the Signpost Forest
Roger putting up his sign
| We spent a couple hours looking at the signs in the Signpost Forest which was started by Army G. I., Carl K. Lindley of Danville, IL, a highway worker during the construction of the Alaskan Hwy. back in 1942. To date there are over 62,000 signs added by tourist of whom we are one of the contributors. Continuing down the hwy. we stopped at DC 695.2 and took a short boardwalk trail thru the boreal forest to the picturesque Rancheria Falls. Our hopes of seeing the Teslin Tlingit (kling-it) Heritage Centre in Teslin were squelched as they weren’t open yet nor were the George Johnston Museum—too early for tourist by 3 days. But Mukluk Annie’s was open with free camping & an evening houseboat ride if you enjoyed their salmon dinner (or other entrées). Chuck’s wife, an artist, penned the name Mukluk Annie for her art work so when they went into the restaurant business they carried the name over to that. They are a family of 9 originally from MN. |
