Abandoned in the Sign Post Forest, Watson Lake, YT

The world famous Sign Post Forest is located in Watson Lake, YT. In1942 Carl K. Lindley, a U. S. Army Engineer working in the area, added a sign to a  post stating, "Danville, Illinois 2,835 miles." Travelers passing through Watson Lake have continued that tradition. I don't know the current sign count, but more than 49,000 signs had been posted in the forest by travelers from all over the globe as of 2002.

What I do know is that the forest is big enough to get lost and 'accidentally' abandoned in. I made my way back to to the car only to discover it was gone. At this point in the trip, I can't say I was surprised to find myself kicked out of the car, just disappointed that Mike didn't leave me behind in a larger city, preferably one with a full service hotel.

Eventually I found Mike in the Visitor's Center. He swears he called out for me before leaving the forest and was in fact at the visitor's center looking for me. Still,  I'm not wandering too far off from this point on, at least not until we reach civilization.
