... ten months, but honestly I don't see us lasting that long and we'll probably end up coming home at first thaw, since homelessness will probably take a toll on us.<br><br> I have the house to myself, which led to ten days of not getting out of the house much and sleeping until two o'clock everyday. Which depressed me to the point of actually getting out and getting a job even if it is only for a couple of weeks. It'll get me enough money to ...

It was strange to be entering Canada again after our time in Alaska &#8211; wilderness knows no borders. The Canadian border guard was quite stringent and wanted to ensure we didn't have concealed firearms and even checked our bear spray to make sure it was permitted in Canada (we bought it in Vancouver so we were fine). <br><br>The road climbed higher and higher through the valley toward Chilkat Pass, and we were surrounded by spectacular glaciated mountains. We finally reached the ...

... to look at the parliament chamber. We also enjoyed the permanent art collection on display in the building.<br><br>Next we stopped by the log skyscraper &#8211; a 3 story log apartment building. Then we ventured out to the airport to see the DC-3 weathervane. We had been told that it was down for its move from the terminal building to the front of the Museum of Yukon Transportation. It was just reset up yesterday !! This DC-3 was a C-47 with the US Army Air Corps ...

... Last night and probably again tonight, we&#8217;ll entertain ourselves with another episode of our favorite drama series &#8211; 24! We&#8217;re way behind; currently on season 5 and we also have season 6 along with us. We brought the transmitter from home and our headsets, so we can both have the volume where we like it. Sometimes we get the headsets switched and he&#8217;ll tell me &#8220;you can&#8217;t possibly hear anything with those.&#8221; My hearing ...

... drove beside for a couple of hours today.This little town survives on hunting, fishing and trapping still today. Teslin has one of the largest Native populations, the Tingits (klink-it) in the Yukon Territory.<br> <br><br>We arrived at our destination of Whitehorse early today in time to tour the town ...

... Conservation nature walks. <br><br>Shopped at the North End Gallery, which has really nice things. It's the first time I saw a picture of flowers made out of "moose tuft." <br><br>Ate dinner at the Yukon BBQ; the halibut and fries were fantastic. <br><br>Walked part of the Millennium trail, which goes along the entire Yukon ...

... once a week, a 12yr old curling team getting them ready for a March Jr bonspiel. With the warm weather of Feb. we have been skiing and snowshoeing right out the front door. Our little loop gets lots of use from everyone in the neighbourhood. We've entered the Managers Air North Challenge at the XC ski club. We have to ski all the 75kms of the ski club's trails in Feb., to be eligible for prizes. It took us 6h skiing on the Mt McIntyre loop with a 2h/1500 ...

... over. As part of the deal we went to a barn dance complete with caller at Mt Lorne Rec hall. Live fiddle music, allemande lefts, and all. It really was a laugh. There were about 12 of us so we did create a bit of a stir as the locals wondered who the heck was invading. In true Yukon fashion however, we all were having a great time do si doing and bowing to our partners. We, of course, danced superbly and were the hit of the dance, or maybe it was ...

... are on old logging and wagon hauling roads which have had over 100 years to degrade and grow back in. Some parts were easy to walk like any sidewalk and other were riddled with rocks to stumble over and of course, mud. It wasn't really all that soggy but we were glad to have good waterproof backpacking boots. The trail of course, went up. We passed through Finnegan's Point where Pat Finnegan and his two sons laid down a corduroy road over the mud and charged a toll for ...

... and waterfalls. The road passes through White Pass, which is the route the prospectors in 1898 took to cross the mountains on the way to the gold mines in Dawson. A two hour drive can take four or more if you stop for all of the photo ops. Since today dawned clear, we climbed in the car and made our way to Skagway. On the drive down not only did we have nice scenery, but a black bear entertained ...
