Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada

We left Montana on a Saturday am and went through the border without incident. They asked a few questions and that was in. Alberta Canada is the first providence to enter. We had to turn on the furnace to stay warm. (also snuggle). The air smells really sweet here. We see dandelions and new buds on the trees. The lakes are crystal clear with some being green, blue ,or whatever color the sky is. We are 3 hrs behind Florida. It doesn't get dark until about 11 pm and the sun comes up at 4 am. The prettiest thing is the snow covered mountains in the background. You can see on some of the pics I post. We finally have internet here and won't for another week after leaving here. We drove through British Columbia and then in the Yukon territory,all in Canada. We took a side trip with the Jeep and went to Skagway, Alaska yesterday. The weather was great in the 70's. This is where the cruise ships come in and there is a tourist town. I had a great time on a treasure hunt. We picked up a newsletter with free gifts at different locations, sooo I went around the town collecting my stuff. I came up with free northern lights pendants, pendant train, and a forget me not flower pendant (the Alaska state flower). Also some stores had the chains to go with it. We left Skagway and had to cross back into Canada. Along the way I have a few more animals to add to my list. There were more buffalo roaming, a moose followed beside us for about 1 min. and finally...yes bear. We have seen 9 s0 far. The one here was eating dandelions on the roadside yesterday. I got about 10 pics of him. We saw a black thing... We think it is a black prairie dog. (very rare). And of course there are the eagles and Canadian geese. There are a lot of holes, and rough roads on the Alaska Highway, also known as the Alcan Highway. This road was built by the USA for travel from the lower states to Alaska through Canada. Next we are heading to "Top of the World" highway to Dawson City, Chicken, and then to Tok, Alaska. Our mail and handguns are waiting for us in Tok. See ya soon.
