It was nice to be back on decent roads, at least by Alaska standards. We traveled 255 miles on Highway-1 East toward Watson Lake to Nugget City, Yukon. Most of this part of the road, we had traveled before, but with the beautiful fall colors, it was a whole new experience. We stopped at Rancheria Falls for our scavenger hunt photo. I was glad we were one of the first to make this stop, as the parking lot was small. The falls were a quick 10 to 15-minute walk from the parking lot. Jim and Jane also stopped at the falls and joined us (and Ty) on the quick walk. It felt good to get out and stretch our legs; and the view was worth the short hike.
After the walk to the falls and a quick lunch, we were on our way to the Baby Nugget RV Park. The park is a bare bones facility but fine for our one-night stay. Even though they advertise Wi-Fi, it is only available at the office. We had thought we would have dinner at their small restaurant, but after looking over the menu, Randy said he would prefer if we ate in, so I made scallops for dinner. They were delicious, as usual.
