Tucker demands a lot of room when he beds down and my legs were immobilized by his body-try pushing 85 pounds of dead weight. To my chagrin, Steve did not suffer any discomfort as Tucker chose my side for his slumber.
We arose early, tracked down coffee and fuel and continued on one of our many long days of travel. After leaving almost three days later than initially planned and needing to complete a 4500 mile journey in eight days. Fortunately, the scenery diverted my attention from the interminable sitting.
Thousands of geese flew overhead and swans seemed to be in every size pond. Along the road we even spotted a red fox waiting for a break in traffic. At a stop at a visitor center near Kluane Lake, we spotted several hundred sheep on the mountain. I took Tucker for a walk and came upon enormous grizzly tracks in the silt-like mud. The distance between the paws was about 4 1/2 shoe lengths. After several hundred yards of following them, I thought better of it and made my way back along a different route.
In Whitehorse, we decided to book a room for a night but had no internet connection. As a work around, we purchased a mango smoothie at McDonalds and used their free wifi to locate a bed and breakfast. There were some great walking trails close to the B & B and the shower was an elixir.
The photos are great. Glad you are online with the Blog. More in a moment...
