yukon capital here we come. Woke up at 4:30 and Shari climbed out shortly after. The hotel was weird – like right out of the 60’s but the large room let us spread our stuff around and the laundry facilities helped get us cleaned up. Waking up to rain showers made us to rethink our choice of clothes and still we were gassed up and on the road by 6:00. It turned out the fuelling stop was a wise choice because 7 km out of Teslin, we were flagged down by Hans (Burlington) and Del (Paris) who had run out of gas. Running into town, borrowing a large jerry can and crossing a dangerous (wobbly) bridge 3 times was repaid by the 2 of them with a free breakfast. We met up later outside Whitehorse to do some sightseeing. This evening, we went to the neatest restaurant where we arrived at 4:00 pm, just minutes before people began to queue around the block. The fish (halibut and Arctic char) was delicious. Our b&b for tonight is wonderful – bright, cheery and quiet. Tomorrow is a big day as we try to some sightseeing and make the 6 hour trip to Dawson city. Only wildlife today were 2 Bison sauntering along the road. We didn’t pause in time to get a photo and didn’t think it prudent to tur around a scare them from behind.
