Bonus Yukon Pics

Noteworthy pictures of our Yukon road trip that I have not previously posted, in chronological order. Hope you like.

We found this waterfall at a rest stop on the way to Dawson Creek. It was literally about 30 feet away from the parking lot of the rest area, so we had a picnic lunch there.


One of the gas exploration rigs, shooting flames and foul stenches into the air. They sometimes smelled like rotten eggs.


Traffic in the northern Rockies. Caribou.


Saw this sculpture outside City Hall in Whitehorse. Get it?


In a hardware store in Dawson City, we came upon this aisle of merchandise. In the foreground you can see a selection of different sizes of sled-dog harnesses. But wait, what's that further down the aisle?...


Wolf, fox, and lynx snares. A bargain at $3.95 and $5.95. Eeek!


The weather was beautiful in Dawson City and the dogs enjoyed lying in the grass at the campground. Here's Oliver.


And Arlo.


In another store in Dawson City, we found some little display pans with nuggets of gold in them. Less of a bargain than the wolf snares. (The ones in this picture range from $102 to $675.)


Most of the vehicles arriving from Alaska looked like this one. Across the border the roads are apparently very bad. Dirt, with lots of nice mud & dust, washboard action, and rocks for chipping windshields. We were told that it's much rougher going on the American side of the border. Yay Canada!


Oliver and I at Five Finger Rapids, right before I threw him over the railing.


A baby Bison. Small by comparison, but still too big to throw over any railings.


Here's Mark at Liard Hot Springs, doing his "Baraka Monkey" pose.


K that's it. Stay tuned for Mexico preparations...
