June 12
We left Teslin after visit at the Tlinkit Heritage Centre. It was very worthwhile with carved masks and information about their culture. We then drove to Whitehorse to visit with Tom and Penny. There home is a little piece of heaven on the outskirts of Whitehorse. We set camp here on their property. The afternoon Tom took us for a power boat ride on the Yukon River. This river was a major 'highway' during the Gold-rush era in Dawson City. We stopped to view a Bald Eagle nest along the river. Tom barbecued a beef roast and we kept them too late 'catching up'. Tom and Penny were helpful helping us sort out what direction to head next as we do not have enough time to do all we hoped to do. We will surely have to come back to explore more of Alaska and the Yukon in the future.
