Whitehorse, Yukon

Saturday: (06/18) We had granola and yogurt for breakfast. Nice short trip on in to Whitehorse this morning. As we drive, Lou is busy with the fly swatter swatting what seems like fly sized mosquitoes that caught a ride when we last entered the RV. We stopped at the visitor center to pick up a load of information.

We then moved in to the Hi Country RV Resort where we'll stay at least the next three nights. Whitehorse is the most populace "city" in the Yukon with a population of 25,000. Hopefully mosquitoes don't make up much of that population. It seems nice so far here in this park. We relaxed at camp much of the afternoon. I got some blog updates done. In the afternoon we went downtown for a walk We bought our train tickets for tomorrow's trip to Skagway.

Steak Dinner
Dinner was steak, oven fries and corn on the cob.
