Day 24 Watson Lake to Whitehorse, YT

Up and at'em early this morning. Lon went to town and found the parts we needed to repair the exhaust system. I waited for the "certified mechanic" that the park advertises in their literature. We talked to the people in charge last evening when we were there for dinner and were told he would be there in the morning, site #7. Within an hour Lon returned with all the stuff we needed, and a life-time of knowledge from the man at the shop in town. Then under the bus we went, well Lon went...I was the gopher (go for tools). In about an hour we were good as new. ( Lon is like having Charlie around when it comes to repairs, but I haven't experienced Lon's fish and hush-puppies). So we were the last ones to leave the RV park, at the crack of noon. Still haven't seen that "Certified Mechanic".

                                                             The scenery continues.


                       These purple wild flowers are everywhere. (Trust me Byron, they are purple).


Still in the Rocky Mountains.


It is Saturday so no one was working. The number at the bottom of the light tells you how many seconds till you can go. It starts at 180 seconds. How long does it take for you to get up and go pee ?


                                                           Approaching Teslin, YT           

                                  Some more purple wildflowers. I'm going to take some home to plant.

                                                                            GO FIGURE!!

                                                   Heidi acted like she didn't know them.

                                       These bridges have a steel deck, makes it rather slippery.

Did I mention, I got to set and drink beer all afternoon?

We got to Whitehorse in about 4 1/2 hrs

Parked at the Pioneer RV Park. Ever wonder what a sardine feels like in that can?

                                       Lon and Pam invited us over to their place for social hour.
Tomorrow is a day off. We are going to explore Whitehorse and, time permitting, take Heidi to the "dog wash". Yes, a coin operated dog wash!
