A large sign on the road a couple days ago made us chuckle: "All those who hate speeding tickets, raise your right foot." Good advice for all of us. Goodnight!
The pickup, Mo, and Nell are traveling together to Alaska for 6 weeks, from the end of June 2012 through the first week of August. Hotels and B-and-B's have been reserved for this adventure, as well as the Alaska Marine Highway System for our return trip. Enjoy the adventure with us.

Today was a 'down' day in Whitehorse. We woke up to rain and it rained half the day, the temp did not reach 50 degrees, and we had to limit our activities to indoor events. Some of the places we wanted to visit were closed for the holiday, since the 1st was on Sunday. But we managed to keep busy, and we spent much time in a couple museums which were worthwhile, plus a couple of historical films in the museums. It is hard to believe that Whitehorse is the capital of the Yukon Territory. Two thirds of the Yukon population lives in Whitehorse. (Pop. about 24,000)
Yesterday's blog did not respond to my wishes. First, part of the text turned blue, then it turned red. Technology has its frustrations, and last night was an example. The above photo was supposed to be in last night's blog, but it disappeared. So you can see it tonight. We went through the ship yesterday, but today we watched a 20 min. film about shipping on the Yukon River. Life was difficult in the early 1900's. The ship used about a cord of wood an hour to turn the stern wheel.
