Pelly Crossing on the highway between Dawson City and Whitehorse
It was very foggy out this morning, low cloud actually, hanging over Dawson when we left, but as we drove farther south it began to clear. By mid-morning it wasn’t a bad day, though we didn’t do much except drive. We got to Whitehorse about 3:30 pm, and checked into the Hi Country RV Park http://www.hicountryrvyukon.com/ just west of the city along the Alaska Highway. It is a nice RV park, as RV parks go. They’ve left up enough trees to give a little bit of a division between each site, though not nearly as much as there is in the Yukon campgrounds. But, it is close to town, only three or four minutes away, and it has showers, so we can wash up tomorrow morning. After we got our tent up, we went into Whitehorse and restocked with groceries for the next week.
Unfortunately, the rainy weather has apparently followed us here. While it was nice when we arrived, it sprinkled a bit while we ate supper, and now it is raining quite steadily, and perhaps has settled in to rain for the night. Tomorrow we will be going over to Kluane National park. We will have no Internet access for a while, possibly until we get to Tok, Alaska in about a week.
