Driving and pictures














It has been strange staying in Whitehorse, the sun never goes down. I was walking the dogs the other night at 11:45 and there was quite a nice "sunset" but I don't think it actually got dark.

We moved on from Whitehorse to Skagway today. The drive was easy, short and a little bumpy. The worst part was trying to get the truck and trailer off the road so I could get pictures. We are 50 feet long and over 8 feet wide so I can't just pull over on the shoulder of the road.

The hill down into Skagway drops about 3500 feet in abut 20 kilometres so the exhaust brake paid for itself again today.

The scenery is fantastic and the weather was good so the mountains and lakes were clear.

The weather since we got to Whitehorse has been really nice and we had the air conditioner on for the first time since we left. Let's hope we have left the rain behind for a while. The wind has picked up this evening and it is blowing hard. Everything is tied down so we should not have any problems.
