The Takhine Hot Springs?...........maybe not.

We decided that since we have lots of time, we would stop at the “Takhini Hot Springs” even though it was only 25 km. away from Whitehorse. We had made a reservation the day before so checking in should not be a problem. When we went in Colin noticed a sign that mentioned an admission fee for the use of the Hot pools. $7.00 per use!!! We figured that if you were staying in the park it would be included in your site fee......NOT! We decided that $7.00 a dip was a little on the rich side so we opted to carry on and see if we could find a Yukon Camp ground. After consulting our parks guide we decided on “Fox Lake Campground” a very pretty spot right on a crystal clear lake. We found two nice spots and settled in for the day. We started our fire and cooked some sausages ......very good! We took the dogs for a swim.......Splash didn’t last too long as the water was very cold.





We cooked ribs on the fire and Ed and Frances brought their food over and joined us at our sight for dinner. After dinner Frances and I had a game of Scrabble while we were waiting for the water to heat up for dishes. We decided that it was so nice here that we would stay an extra day and weather permitting we would launch the boats and tour the lake tomorrow.
