Whitehorse, Yukon Territory

June 30, Day 22



We spent today, June 30th, in Whitehorse, YT.  Nice place of 26k people, and the surroundings are quite nice.  Here is a picture of their river walk beside their trolley system.
Out at the Whitehorse airport, there was something rather unusual that caught my eye.  They have an actual DC3 airplane that is a functioning weather vane and in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Along the Yukon River, they had a restored steam paddlewheeler, S.S. Klondike, that was very unique as it had authentic furnishing for the times and you could walk into the engine, freight area, first class dining and observation area.  The restoration was unbelievable!  



It is also pretty interesting about the different foods from one region to the next that was carried in the hull of the ship.
We should be in Alaska by Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday of this week.
