Whitehorse, Yukon

While we were in Whitehorse in the Yukon we toured the SS Klondike.  Its an old paddlewheel boat that used to take cargo and passengers up the Yukon River.  The Yukon River is that beautiful blue color from being melted glacier water.  Whitehorse is a growing town and even has a Walmart now.   We took the time here to have the oil changed in the truck after over 5,000 hard towing miles.  We've run into some of the same people in the RV parks that we have seen all along the way up even as far back as Montana.  I guess its not surprising since there is only one road. 

After Whitehorse we went to Teslin, Yukon and stayed at a park on Teslin Lake.  The road has steadily gotten worse the farther up we go.  Lots of frost heaves and where its gotten too bad they just take it down to gravel --not sure if they will repave it since we haven't seen any paving equipment.  They seem to like to just keep grading the gravel, wetting the road down to the point of making it soup and then grading it some more.  Your vehicle and RV become covered in a thick coat of mud.  If they don't keep it wet and graded it turns into an extremely dusty (can't see 50 feet in front of you) washboard road.  We've decided we like the soupy graded road versus the dusty washboard road.
