A little bit about me and a lot about the things we do.

Yukon Trip - Part V - Final Days in the Yukon

Sunday and Monday were days for Ron and I to explore the area as Stephen was back to being a working man.  We went to the early service on Sunday  so that we could take the rest of the day to sightsee around Whitehorse.  The church is within walking distance from Stephen's place.  Also close to Stephen's house is his work and we took some pictures so family in Ontario could see where Stephen hangs out and the view that he has from there.





 
Whitehorse looks every bit the part of what you would expect a Frontier City to look like.  It has so much history packed into the streets.


First thing Monday morning I got up to make homemade cinnamon buns, something I have learned to do in our faraway from groceries posting. 
Once Stephen went to work we took a drive just north of the city down the most gorgeous road.  The pictures do not really show how "spec" the view was but you felt like you were on the top of the mountain.


At the end of the road we found Sky High Wilderness Ranch.  It was located in the most beautiful spot and they did horseback and dog sled adventures.  People from all over the world come here to have that experience.  They had 160 dogs and were busy taking care of them which takes a long time to feed and clean up after that many animals.

In the afternoon I met two RCMP spouses for tea.  It was interesting to hear about their experiences and the different postings that they have had.
On Monday night we packed up our suitcases for an early departure the next morning (more about that tomorrow).
