Yukon Territory, Canada

Yukon Territory, Canada,  June 29th - July 5th

Watson Lake, Yukon Territory

 Watson Lake is home to the "Sign Post Forest" a few people placed signs in the visitors center and after a few years the City took over the sign posts and made the forest and keep adding post and people leave signs on the posts. If I have time I will make a sign and leave it on our return trip through Watson Lake.

Whitehorse Yukon Territory,  June 30th-July 3rd

We spent three nights in Whitehorse and on July 1st Canada was celebrating its 150th Birthday as an independent country. They had a large parade down town with lots of fun floats.

We also toured a old river boat used to bring cargo up and down the Yukon River. Before trains were extended to western Canada, and the Alaska Highway during World War II this area was very remote. The early trains came up Whitehorse Pass from Skagway Alaska during the gold rush in this area. The river boats were used to get good down river to Dawson City. We will learn more about Whitehorse Pass on our return trip through Skagway when we will take the train ride up the pass.

Dawson City, Yukon Territory,  July 3rd - July 5th

We had a walking tour of the old mining town of Dawson the entire town is a historic site and they maintain the old wood sidewalks with gravel roads and only the main highway is paved.

Family's were living in the one story building behind the car parked on the street.
