May 24th to 26th - Yukon

May 24th - Thurs - Watson Lake
Decided to stay another day so we could get caught up on laundry and internet/computer stuff. Most campers left the park this morning so we had the laundry room to ourselves, both for laundry and to access the internet since wifi did not work at our site. We put up our sign at the Sign Post Forest. Weather was lovely.
Rigs started coming in again at 3:00 and included Dalbert & Linda who we had met in Dawson Creek. It was nice enough to sit outside and chat for a while after dinner.

May 25th - Friday - to Whitehorse
Started out cloudy but cleared up to make a beautiful day for a drive. We stopped at Rancheria Falls and walked along a trail/boardwalk to the waterfall - great break. I made lunch in a rest area just out of Teslin and then we stopped at a gift shop in Teslin that has some really wonderful animal mounts in “natural“ settings. We were stopped for a while for a bridge resurfacing project not far past Teslin. Checked into an RV park (2 spots down from Dalbert & Linda!) and then explored the town a bit before dinner.

May 26th - Sat - Whitehorse
Stayed a second day as we thought there would be lots to do here. Would have been if the weather hadn’t turned cool, windy and rainy. Boat rides don’t look too interesting in such weather. We did some grocery shopping and tried to find a couple of light bulbs for the 5th wheel. Then we visited the info center and discovered that we cannot take some of the groceries that we purchased into the US (Alaska). Will have to plan meals to use any forbidden items. Weather cleared enough to check out Miles Canyon.
I spent HOURS today figuring out how to put pictures with captions onto a CD to send to some people who do not have high speed internet access to view our pictures. Finally figured it out and got the CDs created.
A couple pulled in beside us late this afternoon in a motor home pulling a small jeep. They had come up via the Cassiar Highway and did quite a bit of damage to their jeep (broken headlight, 2 broken “fog” lamps, rock chips in the windshield, rocks in the radiator) by rocks thrown from the motor home tires on gravel patches on hills. We plan to take the Cassiar Hwy on the way back!
