Thru the Yukon

OK, we came through BC just fine and then it is North through the Yukon. My, there really aren't very many inhabitants of the Yukon! We spent the night in Teslin, a little native village of about 100 people. The RV park was quite nice, but the water hadn't thawed out yet, or any of the individual sewer dumps, although we were able to dump at the central sewer dump. We spent 2 nights here as the kids that own the park are really hard workers, and we have been traveling every day for a while. We spent Mother's Day in Teslin. There was a small (village size) grocery store. Shopping there was a real treat. Of course, prices were extremely high, but since we know first hand what it takes to get groceries in here, it was expected. I also found pearl tapioca in that little store, and it is extremely hard to find in the US.

Fuel has been running nearly $5.00 a gal. here in northern Canada, so will be glad to hit Alaska and see if it is any cheaper. Temperatures are pretty nice during the day, and evenings get a little chilly. It was amazing that the further north we came, the trees were budded more than in some of the areas further south. That being because we are getting into the much longer hours of sunlight! In the northern Yukon, it was still light at 11PM. We are very grateful that neither of us require darkness to sleep. So, off we go zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
