British Columbia going north

We stopped in Penticton, which is a resort town by a lake after crossing the border.  The crossing took 20 minutes and the Canadian inspector kept asking where we were going and after we said upper Yukon he asked if we were going to Dawson City.   It was a little out of way we thought so I said I don't know.   He went back into his shack and was writing and I thought we would have the car torn apart.  But no, he was writing on a slip of paper "Good for 2 cold beers at the Midnight Bar  John Bear".  It was a bar in Dawson City and we got our free beers.  The Canadians are very friendly and we had no problems on any part of our trip.  The next night we stayed in Quesnel, which is on the Fraser River, with a nice park on the river.  Then to Fort St John where we spent the night. The next day's drive was the longest where we drove 525 miles to Watson Lake.   Most of the motels and restaurants were closed but we got a place to stay and eat.  Watson Lake is on the border with the Yukon.  The map of BC and dates where we stayed is below.
