Saturday September 25th (Back to beautiful weather)

Watson Lake to Laird Hot Springs (A wonderful spot on the road)
132 mile

A beautiful days driving in idea conditions sun shining on a lovely hiway with little traffic. We saw several bisson grazing beside the hiway. Everybody we know who has driven the Alaska Hiway, have said Laird is a place that you must stop at, and now that we have been to Laird we happen to agree. Arrived here about 11.30am and found a camping spot in the Provincial Park about a ½ mile walk to the hot springs. We spent a couple of hours soaking in the pool, really didn’t want to get out, we did start feeling like prunes, felt we better get out while we still had energy to walk back to our campsite. We meet a couple from Eagle River in the pool and had a nice chat with them, they have limited time and had left Eagle River on Thursday, and they are putting in lots of miles in a short time. Its make us feel fortunate that we are not restricted by a schedule. We have seen and heard lots of sand hill grains, doing what we are doing heading south.  In the evening we went back to the pools to soak some more. The Provential Park Camp Ground is beautiful each site is among the trees on level gravel pads which seemed to be racked daily.
