2010 - June 29 (Day 14) Dawson Peaks Resort to Whitehorse, YT
Well, we only pulled the camper 130 miles today. Got to Whitehorse and booked passage on White Pass & Yukon Rout narrow gauge railroad for tomorrow. We'll be gone for the whole day. We take a bus to Fraser, YT and the train from Fraser to Skagway, AK. Then the bus brings us back. After we booked the rail trip we started calling campgrounds at about 1:00 PM and several were booked, so we ended up at the Robert Service Campground. It's supposed to be just for tents, but they let small RV's and trailers in. There are no electrical or water hook-ups, but we can handle that. We spent umpty-leven Loonies to wash about 2,000 miles worth of dirt, mud and grime off of the car and camper. Unfortunately, that left about 1,500 miles worth of dirt, mud and grime still on the car and camper. They do look better though. We ran into our new friends from Minnesota, Jim & Bonnie Erickson (again), at the S.S. Klondike, so after the tour we went to dinner at the highly recommended Klondike Rib & Salmon BBQ. Of course, Marsha had the salmon. I had fish & chips. The food was great, as was our evening with Jim & Bonnie. It's off on the train ride tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll have plenty to post tomorrow night.

9/1/2019 - Since meeting Jim and Bonnie on our Alaska Trip in 2010, we have camped with them several times (the latest was a week in Wisconsin this past July)and spent a week in New Orleans with them in January of 2018. They are among our fondest memories of the Alaska trip and we hope to spend more time with them in the future.
