We learn that water in the streams west of here eventually finds
its way to the Yukon and empties into the Pacific Ocean
To the east, water drains into the Mackenzie River, flowing north
for thousands of miles to the Arctic Ocean
Most of the old lodges are closed today
Pretty clouds
Down the road we go
Coming into Teslin
