We finally made it to Whitehorse, Yukon around 7:00 this evening. It has been along day. We left around 8:30 this am after eating breakfast at the Sourdough campground "cafe"... very good sourdough pancakes and biscuits and gravy. We ran into construction about 10 miles outside of Tok. It was mostly pavement breaks until we got into the "major" construction. That only lasted about 4 miles and we had to take it very very slow. Then the rest of the way was lots and lots of permafrost "rising's" out of the asphalt. Some were horrible but we could dodge them as there wasn't that much traffic on the road.
Once we got into Canada there was only 2 construction places and the biggest one was around the Kluane Lake where they are putting in a new bridge. Then it was pretty smooth sailing the rest of the way....chipped and sealed and a nice road. We traveled almost 400 miles today..... we just got home from eating supper and now its time for bed!
We are planning on leaving here at 8 in the morning then going to either Liard Hot Springs or farther depending on how tired we are..... we gained an hour today too so that made the day cut short! The temp's are rising also...we saw 73 for the first time this summer! :)
We also saw a small bear cub on the side of the road and a huge moose, and a silver fox..... yesterday we didn't see any animals.
So that's about it for now...I will get some pictures downloaded and share with you.
Until next time!
