Not planned, it is time for an oil change for Bill's truck and only a Ford dealer will do it so we left F&T in Carcross (where Caribou cross) as they continued on their journey and we drove 85 km to Whitehorse. We're happy to return. We like it here and will spend tomorrow morning doing more exploring while Bill's truck is serviced. We treated ourselves to a beautiful meal tonight at the Burnt Toast. Reviewed in the NY Times (and lonely planet), I had the fresh arctic char poached in parchment. I practically licked the plate! Bill contemplated the Elk sausage but in the end had some of my fish along with a beautiful beet salad. A real treat.
We are now in Starbucks to get some on-line time.
It is beautiful out - feels like room temperature at 9:00 pm and the sun shows no interest in setting. We spoke to the waiter who has lived here three years. He loves it but is still not looking forward to November. He said it isn't the cold, it's the dark. He said the summers and long days make up for it and you keep busy in the winter and try to get away at least once.
