7/8 – Whitehorse has been a
pleasure. We stayed at the Hi Country
Good Sam RV Park which was very nice.
They have a pressure RV wash that we used to remove four thousand miles
of dirt from the Winnebago. It looks
much better. Some of the RVs on the road
are totally covered in mud and dust. I
don’t know if they will ever come clean.
Long sections of the Alaska Highway are under construction and at times
we can’t see the vehicle in front of us for the dust.
While is Whitehorse we visited the
following: The SS Klondike II
(stern-wheeler on the Yukon River 1937-1955); Whitehorse Fishway (longest
wooden fish ladder in the world); Yukon Beringia Museum (land route traveled by
the first humans entering Americas from Asia.
Alaska and the Yukon are full of ice age fossils.); Whitehorse
Waterfront Trolley from 1925. There are
many other attractions in Whitehorse, some of which we will see on our return
trip back to the US.
We also did some re-supplying
today. Wal-Mart doesn’t have a Superstore
here so we picked up a few items there and then headed to the REAL CANADIAN
SUPERSTORE. It had an excellent
selection and good prices. I would
recommend a stop there if you are going through Whitehorse.

Tomorrow we leave here headed
approximately 500 more miles before we reach the border to Alaska near
Tok. We’ll be stopping at least one night
before then. I don’t expect to have
Internet available for a couple of days, but I’ll keep you posted.
