Well, I’m about an hour away from leaving Nugget City! I need to pack up the iMac, go dump, hookup the car, and say goodbye to everyone.

I just got back from Watson Lake. I hadn’t planned to go into town again, but I was paid by cheque so I decided that it would be wise to go deposit it, especially since I’m running low on cash. At the same time, I popped into Watson Lake foods to see what the specials are this week. That’s how I tend to shop, by stocking up on whatever’s on sale, rather than getting what I ‘want.’ There were great deals to be found, sufficiently so that I bought more than I expected, which means I’ll be in less of a hurry to get to Whitehorse. I did buy two things that were not on sale: two loaves of Demptser’s 12 grain sliced bread. This is the only sliced bread that I buy and it isn’t cheap. Whenever I can find the bread for under 4$ a loaf, I stock up. They didn’t have any at the grocery store last time, but they had two loaves today, regularly priced at… 3.99$. I was shocked; I’ve paid up to 4.99$ in BC for this bread, and that was on ‘sale’! I’m also amused that I caught Watson Lake Food’s ‘Buy 30$ worth of grocery, get a free steak knife’ promotion both times I shopped there, so I now have two nice new sharp knives; something that I actually needed. I can now retire my older, and quite dull, knives. 🙂

Whitehorse is about 500km away with the detour I’m taking. What I’m hoping to do is find a territorial park along the way where I can hunker down for a couple days and just recoup from the last two weeks. So, I will probably not be online again for several days. The adventure resumes!
