We're in Whitehorse,YT

The S.S. Klondike riverboat is now a self-guided tour, open 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If one wishes a guided tour, there are designated contractors who will take you through the historical site, for a fee, of course.

There is also now a substantial wharf on the Yukon River along First Avenue, between the Trolley Roundhouse and the historical White Pass Building. Very nicely done with bench seats. All good views of the Yukon River.

Those interested in a pleasant walk can enjoy the Millennium Trail along both sides of the Yukon River. It does a good loop through the south part of town and includes a foot bridge over the Yukon River out by the Robert Service campground.

I also recommend a visit to the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre along the Yukon River. There is no fee for entry and there are some interesting artifacts to be seen. As well, some artists in residence.

The Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre is also interesting, has some historical animal displays and good movies. Here you'll learn more about the land bridge that once existed between Alaska & Siberia. Many areas of Yukon & Alaska were unglaciated during the Ice Age and this is what you'll learn more about. Plus you get to try your hand at spear throwing.

Those wishing to take a boat tour of the Yukon River and Miles Canyon, can check into http://www.yukonrivercruises.com/boatcruises.html. An affordable outing on the MV Schwatka, very scenic! ON EDIT: read in the newspaper that the MV Schwatka will not be touring this year

The restored steam ship, is a great half day well spent as well. Parks Canada did a great job and have some good tours. Nice gift shop as well.

I normally carry a book of Robert Service's poems with me. So I like to take a few hours and go to the banks of the Yukon, there in town. Find a comfortable place to sit and read. It is fun to think that Service himself probably looked at the same view, I am enjoying while there. Now days, I have a copy of his complete works, stored on my Kindle and iPad so one of those go with me. My wife likes to walk the shops downtown while I try to go back in time, in my mind.

Whitehorse to me, is addictive, IMHO. Generally I will tell myself I am just going to stop for fuel and some resupply of groceries and drink, and be on my way north. Then 3 or 4 days later, or more, I will finally head north. Just one of those places that makes me smile to think about it.

Whitehorse is great, the follies are also great, and reasonable. good town to walk around in..

Take in the "Frantic Follies" while you are in Whitehorse! It's a "must-see"!!! ST

We are stuck in Saskatoon waiting for a hot water heater. Was suppose to have left here yesterday but looks like next Tuesday now.

At least the TOW has opened so we can still make the Chicken Stock Festival in Chicken. I had a leisurely 15 day trip planned for the 1,900 plus miles but will have to make it in 9 days now.

Not complaining - JUST ANOTHER GREAT ADVENTURE.

Turn left at Tok.. have fun,
