Arrived in Whitehorse at about 6:30 p.m. on
July 16. We had dinner and went to Frantic Follies
Vaudeville Revue, which was
great.
The show featured singing,
can-can dancing, slapstick skits and readings of Robert Service poetry
held at the Westmark Hotel. Now in its 39th season, the show entices viewers to put
themselves into the spirit of the Klondike Gold Rush.
Just like the Sourdoughs who came in from the creeks, loaded with
gold and eager for entertainment.
Gasoline was $4.44
CD a
liter or about $6.00 per gallon USD.
We stayed one night in Whitehorse and the next morning we were told
to expect an 8 hour coach ride
on
the
Klondike Highway
that follows the route of the old
Overland Trail to
Dawson City,
Yukon.
First stop out of Whitehorse was Braebun Lodge which had
huge cinnamon buns – about 8-10 inches across.
We passed through Carmacks, following the Klondike River past Fox Lake
and stopped at the Five-Finger Rapids. Lunch buffet was at Minto, a campground
stop along the banks of the
Yukon River.
We did stop for a look at the
Tintina
Trench just before Dawson City.
