Stop #15 Whitehorse, Yukon







Stop #15 was in Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon.  We like it so much we have decided to stay an extra day!  We found a great campground at the Takhini Hot Springs.  It is a beautiful wooded area that has signs up to inform us that we are in bear country so to dispose of our trash wisely!  So far no bear sightings at the camp though.  We also took a dip in the hot springs yesterday and plan to go back this afternoon, it was wonderful!  Cooper had fun swimming around (as best he can) and Mariah seemed to enjoy it to.  One of the patrons of the hot springs also felt it was necessary to remind Cooper “not to pee in the pool!”  Cooper just looked at him like he was crazy (and probably peed on command!).  We also made a stop at the Railway and Copper Mine Museum where we took another short train ride.  Upon getting to Whitehorse we read that on June 21 there would be 21 hours of day light… and that seemed to be accurate, however I don’t think it ever got completely dark.  We are having fun touring Whitehorse some more today.  Tomorrow we will continue on in hopes of making it to Tok, Alaska!!!  Also, please pray for patience for us, as ours seems to be getting a little thin!!!
