June 15, 16, 17 & 18, 2008

Today is the first time we have had internet for several days. Either the campground didn't have it or it was not working. After we crossed over into the Yukon, we lost cell service. We will be in Skagway Friday so it SHOULD resume.

We toured the SS Klondike. The last working paddlewheeler in the Yukon. There are several museums in the area. Great walking trails around the town.

Tuesday - June 17, 2008
We arrived in Whitehorse a day ahead of schedule. So far, the road has been good, the truck is getting good MPH (12-14). Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon. There are 32,000+ people in the Yukon and 23,000+ live in Whitehorse. Didn't see much wildlife today but the lakes and rivers are beautiful.

We made it to Watson Lake. Saw more bear (one really close), several coyotes and elk. The scenery is just breathtaking.

Sunday - June 15, 2008
We stayed at Laird Hot Springs. The springs felt so good. They were hotter than the normal spa but felt great. We saw several animals today. Bears, Stone sheep, caribou, deer but no moose! It has been a really good day.
