Whitehorse Day 2

Day 64, Thursday, 8/20: Did some sightseeing in Whitehorse today. Discovered that parking is an issue downtown where the tourist places are… We finally found a spot and went to Tim Horton’s for breakfast (a breakfast sandwich similar to any other fast food place). On to McBride’s museum and it was very interesting, about what it was like living here a century ago. Those were hardy folks! After that we went to Baringia Interpretive Center which was about the ice age and how the original people got to North America across the land from Russia/Asia. It was interesting also. Then on to the Transportation Museum which was also very good. A lot about early life here in the Yukon and how they managed to survive and travel. Back to camp for some wine with the neighbors! They had wine from their area, Kamloops, BC and it was nice to visit. We will try to acquire some of the special wine they let us taste. The plan is to go to Skagway in the morning, a quick trip down and back.
