Our Journey : Teslin Lake GCG

5/28/2024

May 26th - 28th, 2024 - Whitehorse Yukon and New Friends

We woke to a beautiful sunny day and away we went!

We made a stop at Johnson's Crossing for one of their famous Cinnamon Rolls and met the new owners. In 2009, we tried to stay here but unfortunately they were snowed in. (For those who are new to my blog, our 2009 trip to Alaska in April was a real adventure - LOL!)

Anyway, the rolls are huge! We sat in their dining area, talking with the owners and ended up bringing half of the rolls with us. Yum!

Love the cloud reflections:

Not sure what this is but I know it has to do with the salmon runs. This is the Yukon River - the 3rd longest in the world:

Coming into Whitehorse:

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.

May 25th, 2024 The Alcan and Bears

We woke to a beautiful morning and continued our journey on the Alcan!

We passed an area where there were two RVs camped and the river nearby. Walking thru their site was a HUGE Grizzly Bear just meandering along. OH MY!

No, we did not stop but prayed that the campers stayed in their campers.

For miles we can see messages done in white rocks along the highway. I honestly think they are done by tourists traveling this way since there is not much in the way of civilization - LOL!
