Nordic Eclipse Campground day 2

We awake later than planned but had already decided to go into Whitehorse for a hearty breakfast. After brushing our teeth at the campground facility, set out.

"Turn right?" Phil asks. "No left." I reply, and soon we are traveling along. We see a mule deer and then a moose, and after 15 minutes, I realize we are now 30 minutes from our chosen destinations instead of 15! We turn around and finally reach Ricky's, where we both inhaled 2 giant cups of coffee and large breakfast combos.

We went to the "Canadian Superstore" next door for groceries and then found a car wash for the pickup. We'll bring the camper there tomorrow on the way through town.

We paid a visit to the Whitehorse Berringia Museum and learned about the area in previous ice ages. Did you know the Yukon River used to travel south, but due to glaciers now traveling northwest?

After fueling up at $7.56 Canadian, we made time to call my stepdad. It is Mike's birthday, and it sounds like he celebrated with BBQ from my sister-in-law who brought in lunch. While I am at it, Happy Birthday also to Katherine Z. who has a birthday on Monday. Congrats also to Dan Woodford for a promotion!

After our visit to town, Phil and I visited the Hot Springs resort. It was nice. We got a discount, but it was still a little pricey. There were 8 scenic pools of different temperatures, two temperatures of saunas and two steam rooms--one eucalyptu, and one no scent. It was quiet and nice, although I waited for Phil 20 minutes in the locker area before I realized he had gone ahead and was enjoying the hot springs without me!

Tonight, we had another night of cheese and crackers as we were both full from breakfast and a little lazy after the hot springs. Tomorrow, we will wash the camper in Whitehorse and then head for Skagway for two nights. We cross 3 time zones going to Skagway, so we may be really mixed up by then!Read more
