We crossed into the Yukon Territory today where we had our windshield broken by a passing gravel spewing truck. We’ve seen an incredible variety of wildlife along the road: several bear, one mother with 3 cubs, many moose, deer, snowshoe rabbit, raptors, woodland buffalo, and others. We stopped at a natural hot springs, beautiful clear hot water with a soft gravel bottom, what a treat. We continued up through high, snow covered mountains, looked like we were driving through the Swiss Alps at times. We’ve arrived at Whitehorse, the only city in the territory which is surrounded by snowy peaks. We’re going to spend 2 days here doing truck maintenance, shopping and laundry. All of our clothing and bedding smell of smoke and fire from the last few days. We had dinner at a pub down by the Yukon River in an old section of the city. Time for a break.
