May 23 Ranchiero Yukon Territory

                                            2 of the 3 bears

                                               Goldilocks

We began our morning with those delicious cinnamon rolls.  Then we peeked over towards Dennis and Diane’s camper and noticed Dennis with his head under the hood.  With his expertise he was able to fix the brake warning light and the annoying dinger sound.  Unfortunately no other gauges worked so he had no speedometer etc.  Luckily that wasn’t me because Ellen would have never let me drive without a speedometer. 

We began our drive and came upon Muncho Lake (not the potato chip)  It was a beautiful emerald aqua color and part was frozen and the other part was like a mirror. (see photos)  We then came upon wildlife which were camped on the road.  Bison, caribou, big horn sheep and then when we thought we could not be any luckier we came upon three bears grazing next to the road. (see photos and video)  And 20 minutes later we found goldilocks in Watsons Lake. 

We stopped at Ranchiero RV “Resort” here in the Yukon.  We arrived and found Dennis and Diane splitting wood with an axe.  A New York City boy found that to be surreal.  We watched them light a fire and ate chicken and then we had a guy land a helicopter next to us.  Of course I was fascinated and had a long talk with the pilot.  He offered to take me for a ride but I declined.  That’s all for now folks.
