You heading to Tok via the Alaska Highway?
If so, you won't find too much mud this week as the forecast is for sunshine. Highway is in decent shape too.
If going by way of Dawson City and then Top of the World, you might collect some grime on the Top of the World and Taylor Highways, as there is much gravel & dirt road.
How long you in Whitehorse for?
We're going ALCAN to Tok. LOL! I just sent you a PM before seeing this post. We were leaving from Hi Country RV in the AM, but had more windshield related luck. The gent in the space next to us, backed into a temporary WiFi pole (The park is putting a new grid, and they have several temporary poles mounted so they can move them around as the set up the grid.) It crashed hard into our CRV windshield leaving about a two inch deep impact zone...
So we're now going to stay and see if a Whitehouse Glass Shop or perhaps the Honda Dealer, can get it replaced for us in a timely turnaround. If not, we'll call ahead to Tok and see if they can order a replacement in and have it ready for us when we arrive.
One thing for sure, we timed the weather in Whitehorse very well. Just a great day, with a nice hike down by the river today, and Miles Canyon yesterday.
We kind of chuckled, as in BC we had our coaches windshield damaged when a Must Pass The RV and Water Tank Truck over the middle median of Fort St John pickup driver blew by us probably going 100 in a 50 zone. Had that patched when we went back to Dawson Creek.
The CRV is not a patch job:)! So we'll see how luck we are on finding one in stock someplace in Whitehorse.
Fun, fun.
Best to all,
Smitty
