Day 10 Yukon Territory 07/20/2010
No pictures tonight. The server in the Yukon is very, very, very slow. I will post to days pictures, separately tomorrow.
First of all, our accomodations last night in Fort Nelson, were, how should I say, rustic. Does Deliverance mean anything to you. Well, it was not just a movie. They could film it up here.
We left Ft. Nelson on the way to Whitehorse, Yukon. We drove hundreds and hundreds of miles. Was saw hundreds and hundreds of mountains. We saw Caribou, Bears, Stone Mountain Sheep, Buffalo, a Weasel and assorted other wildlife. We saw another Black Bear, ran over and left by the road side. They have more bears here than you can count. We are saving the bear spray for a grizzly. We want something worthy. These black bears look too much like a teddy bear.
When we left our hotel this moring, I was talking to a lady and asked how she was doing. She said, just getting ready for a hot day. Expecting it to be around 80*. I told her she should come to Alabama for a hot day. She had heard of Alabama and wanted to know how we handled the heat. I said "airconditioning".
Uneventful trip. A rock broke my window, buts that all. We arrived in Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon. A nice town. Had supper. I had Caribou Stew. All I could hope for.
We are excited about tomorrow. We will be in Alaska by lunch. We will spend the next week exploring Alaska before heading home.

P.S. Vic, our accomodations were like a "clean" Jared's Wild Rose.
