Day 66 - Whitehorse, YT

We left Haines Junction enroute to Whitehorse which is about 150 km. It was a pretty easy drive, no major hills and the roads were not bad at all.

We made one stop along the way and that was at the old Canyon Creek Bridge. In 1903, a gold strike brought a stampede of miners to the area. A wagon road was built from Whitehorse and a bridge was constructed over Canyon Creek. During construction of the Alaska Highway in 1942, the old bridge was dismantled and a new one built in 18 days. This little bridge was left in place when a more permanent bridge was built downstream.

We got to Pioneer RV Park which is the same park we stayed in last time we were in Whitehorse. Again we set everything up then went into town for some much needed groceries. We lost most of our meat and refrigerator stuff a few days after the cooling unit went. Anyway it is all good.

After shopping we went back to the campground got caught up on laundry and spent some quality time with the dogs.
