Whitehorse, Yukon

We enjoy a late departure Saturday as we only have a short drive to Whitehorse, Yukon for the weekend.  We passed through here on the trip up deciding we would stop on our return.  We park at the Pioneer RV Park just south of Whitehorse and play to enjoy sightseeing here tomorrow.  Sharon and Joy spent most of the day at the Takhini Hot Springs while Don and Bob tended to some motor home cleaning.  Monday will find us headed south about 230 miles on the Alaska Highway before we join the Cassier Highway south toward Prince George and Vancouver, BC.

Sunday was cool and overcast as we toured Whitehorse museums, Yukon River waterfront, and downtown.
