Whitehorse Yk
They call it Whitehorse because the rapids look like the mane of a white horse. We just got back from a play, '98 Follies, it was cute. There was a little fox in the RV park when we got back. It wasn't afraid at all and kept running up and down the driveway. Pat got a left over hot dog and I threw him a piece of it. He ran over and grabbed it and ran up the hill to eat it. A bunch of people were standing around watching him. Then he came back for some more hot dog. This all happened at 10:30 PM and it was light enough to take pictures without a flash. We also got mor pictures of an eagle.
The weather today was in the 70's with a few rain showers. We toured an old stern wheel paddle boat today(the Klondike). They used to travel up the Yukon river from here to Dawson City. The train would bring goods from Skagway and they would load them on the boats to go to Dawson City (300 miles north). It was a day and a half to Dawson City (downstream) and 4 days back to Whitehorse (upstream). We also toured a museum where they had a lot of exhibits of the extinct animals. Tomaorrow is a free day. We plan to gas up and maybe wash the motorhome.

Nice pictures. I can't believe it's so warm there.
