Unexpectedly in Whitehorse after getting 3 blown (and shredded) tires on the toad just NW of Burwash Landing heading toward AK from Haines. We think the auxilliary brake in the toad malfunctioned and kept the brakes on as we left a stretch of gravel and we must have dragged it about 300 feet. :( At least 2 rims ruined as well. Good Sam had the car towed back to Whitehorse (179 mi in the wrong direction but gave us no other option) but with Canada Day tomorrow we won't even get it looked at until Tuesday. Arrived at Pioneer RV last night at midnight and got the last site which sucked as we were sandwiched between two large caravans (SMART and Adventure) about 2 feet apart. Got a site here at Hi Country and will likely be here several days. Can't get a rental to at least do some sightseeing as they are sold out until at least Friday. What a bummer, but at least the RV is ok and we have a place to stay -- and they have great wifi and decent cable. FYI if you want to avoid them or get ahead, SMART is headed to Skagway next and Adventure is going to Dawson City.
