Pioneers RV Park and Whitehorse
Before leaving the Walmart parking Lot we walked downtown to get our free parking pass for the time we will be here. We then went and settled into the Pioneer RV Park. After setting up we went back into town to check out some sights. The first stop was the fish ladder located at the Yukon Hydroelectric dam located on the Yukon River. Unfortunately we were a little early for the Salmon run which takes place in August some time. Next we walked around the S.S. Klondike Stern Wheeler. This paddle wheeler has been painstakingly restored and permanently perched at the side of the Yukon River.
We made a quick tour around the farmers market downtown but it was mostly jewellery and souvenirs, not too interesting.
We went back to the trailer, did some cleaning and then got ready to cook some nice fresh Pacific Salmon over the fire. We split it with Ed and Frances and ate together when it was cooked......delicious!! The only problem was the bugs. We did sit outside at the fire for a while but eventually the flying critters drove us in . It is midnight now and the sky is still blue .....weird. You just don’t feel like going to be because it is so light out.
