Day 31: 1997-06-18
ATW Retro-blog: 1997-06-18 (Day#31)
Whitehorse (CYXY - CA) - Watson Lake (CYQH - CA)
211nm; 2h05; Purchase(833)/Cowan(962)

 Driving rain and mountain obscuration put paid to any hopes of continuing the journey, though a forecast improvement in the late afternoon materialized, allowing a departure for Watson Lake.

The journey was delightful, over extensive forests and many lakes, but onward progression was abandoned amidst reports of aircraft being forced by weather conditions to make emergency landings on the highway.

 After a very quick refuel and tie-down of the aircraft the team took in the five acre collection of street signs from all over the world, though none from Russia were found!
