Whitehorse

Day 63, Wednesday, 8/19: Woke early because we wanted to be on the road and back to Haines Junction by 10ish. Planned to go to Bear-ittos for a breakfast burrito but realized they didn’t open until 6 and we were still on Pacific time which was 5:30. It was OK though, because a very large cruise ship was docking as we got up and it was an awesome sight! It was lit up and just pulling up to the dock, very close to where we were camped. We drove around and got an even closer view. Spotted two bald eagles down by the waterline sitting on a rock and enjoyed seeing them too. Back to the café for the burritos, coffee and a Danish for the road. Nice drive back to Haines Junction with a little road construction along the way. No critters!! I think they sense us coming and hide….

Once back in Haines Junction, hooking up the cargo trailer, we discovered that we cannot find SPOT! We have searched everywhere and think maybe we left it at the Lake Creek Yukon Territorial park… Too far to go back… So to those who were getting our signal: SPOT IS MISSING!!!! Drove on to Whitehorse which was about 100 miles and staying at the High Country RV Park. Very nice and great WiFi here! We unhooked the trailer, unloaded the camper and plan to spend a couple of nights here. There is a lot to see here in Whitehorse so we will be doing some sightseeing tomorrow. Bob e-mailed the SPOT website informing them that we left the kennel door open and Spot is missing. They responded back saying they would suspend our account for the time being. So, if someone finds it they won’t be able to push the Help or 911 buttons and cause unnecessary concern. I’m hopeful that someone found it and it may turn up eventually. We are through the really remote places so we should be OK. Don’t worry! We are having a glass of wine, visiting with some Canadians next door and relaxing…
