A lonely soldier, building the Alaska<br />
Highway, put up a sign that pointed<br />
home. Today, the Watson Lake Sign Post<br />
Forest still welcomes travellers on one<br />
of the most unique drives in the world.<br />
In 1898, thousands came down the Yukon<br />
River to Dawson City to mine the creeks and<br />
whoop it up with other stampeders. Visitors<br />
can still travel north to find the same hustle<br />
and bustle in Dawson City today.<br />
