We arrived in Whitehorse, Yukon this afternoon. The highway was an easy drive today - we drove about 60 mph the whole way from Watson Lake. Once again, beautiful scenery. We can see the St. Elias Mountains in the distance. They have Canada's highest mountains. Whitehorse is the biggest city in the Yukon with 24,000 people; about 70% of the whole Yukon population lives here. We drove almost 300 miles today and only passed one town (Teslin Lake) with 400 people. We are in an all frills campground again tonight. After talking to our neighbors from British Columbia and Oregon who are now heading south from Alaska; we think we are going to change our route in the morning. They say we should to go to Dawson City and Chicken. We will still end up in Tok, Alaska but it's about 100 miles more. Also, they say the Alaska Highway we would be traveling on tomorrow is a torn up mess, so we could miss it if we go to Dawson City. We will have gravel road on the way to Chicken though. We will decide in the morning. The lack of darkness is REALLY bizarre for all of us including Larry. The sun is shining bright at 10:00 p.m., it is almost dark at 2:00 a.m.; by 3:30 it is light again. It is weird and disorienting. Sorry, no pictures today and we didn't see any animals.
Comments from Eldon: Fell asleep; will comment later.
