... a long drive that afternoon.<br><br>However, we didn&#8217;t mind the driving so much with such wonderful scenery to take in. The rocky mountains seemed to go on forever and the colours were stunning, especially with the roadway flanked by the beautiful purple-pink fireweed and highlighted by a brilliant blue sky. At Johnson&#8217;s Crossing we crossed the Teslin River then the road ran alongside massive Teslin Lake, which is over 130km long, with the impressive Cassiar Mountains on ...

... through about the same landscape as yesterday, but saw more lakes and rivers. The lakes have the most beautiful turquoise color. We drove past Teslin Lake, Swan Lake and Marsh Lake. We crossed the Continental Divide again into the Yukon at Watson Lake. The rivers and lakes are very clear. Whitehorse is very dusty and sandy. The town is quite quaint and the ...

... river. The racers have a mandatory seven hour layover here. They used to run the race straight through without layovers but they found racers went so far into deprivation they were no longer safe. The first boats arrived around 6 AM Thurs AM, having paddled 18h straight. They pulled up on shore and their race support crews got them fed and into tents. The racers continued to arrive until 9 pm.

... getting ready to celebrate the end of the Cruise ship season and everything was on sale in the stores. T-shirts for $3.00, Christmas ornaments for a buck, Ball caps for $2.00 all with Alaska or Skagway on them. We took out truck on the M.S. Malaspina on the hour ride to Haines. Haines had rolled up its sidewalks the previous week as the last Cruise ship on the season had departed. We had supper at the Bamboo Room and stayed at the Captain's Choice Motel ...

... a fifth grader' ? Perhaps it should be 'Are you fitter than a 10 yr old' ? We thought we'd be fitter than the 10 yr old, Maria. How wrong we were. The jaunt up the mountain over hill and dale, through the woods past Grandma's house, only took 7.5h! Dennis had warned us is would be slow because of the kids.
