We are staying at the Pioneer RV Park where we have stayed every time we are in Whitehorse. Once we checked in, our first item was the RV and Truck wash area. We did the best we could and our vehicles look a lot better with all that dirt gone.
Once we settled in our spot, we headed to Walmart and the Canadian Superstore. In 2009, we came thru here very early and there were no campgrounds open so we stayed in the Walmart parking lot overnight. They do not allow that anymore.
When we stayed at the Walmart in Fallon Nevada, we met a couple, Jane and Roger, who were Escapees and SKP Boomers and have stayed in touch ever since. They are also at this campground and we got together for supper at the Cooper's/Dirty Northern on Main Street in Whitehorse. The food was great! We had such a good time chatting and getting to know one another that we ended the evening at our RV. What a great time and hope to see them somewhere in Alaska.
Stats for today:
Miles Traveled: 96 Miles
Routes Traveled:
Yukon: YT-1 (Alaskan Highway)
May 27-28, 2024
The last two days were spent doing laundry, getting supplies, doing some things around the motorhome, and just taking it easy. Four days of continuous travel is a bit much for us anymore.
We did not do any sightseeing but may on our way back thru.
Tomorrow we continue our journey to Alaska so stay tuned and enjoy today.

Super photos and narrative! We love how you capture the scenic vistas, rivers, mountains, etc., and also the highways. Too many travelers don't realize that pictures of the roads and highways help tell the story and might be the deciding factors in driving to Alaska, or not. The campgrounds look pretty primitive. Do most have no utilities? Any problems finding places to dump tanks, refill the water supply or get gas? Great job!
Hi Ron and Bonnie, Many of the provincial parks in BC do have dumps and water, although the water may need to be boiled. We do get filtered water from any local store or a "Primo Type" water fill for coffee and use bottled water for drinking. We also give our cats bottled water all the time... why? I don't want to deal with a kitty that has that "type" of problems - if you know what I mean - LOL!
There are many places to dump and fill - some with a charge, some not - best to google or stop at a visitor center. In BC, Yukon, and AK, many people live off the grid whether in a mobile unit or a dry cabin and those type of services are readily available.
Getting fuel.. well, the Alcan has MANY places as long as you are aware of your capabilities/limitations. On the Cassier, there is limitations! We knew our range and planned accordingly and that is what most folks should do. The longest stretch on the Cassier is just over 150 miles and there is much information as well as billboards stating the information. Most, if not all, vehicles can do that. If one has a fuel problem, it is their own fault.
We have had such an adventure and such a learning experience. We have seen so many homes/cabins so far away from services and my question is..how do they get supplies.
There are many hardy people in this world.
I know this answer was long but.. hope all is well..
