June 19th

We are spending the night tonight a few miles out of Whitehorse in a provincial park.  We drove about 275 miles today.  It's a beautiful park with tall pines and a creek running through it.  

We ran into Whitehorse tonight and had something to eat and got a few groceries at Walmart.  The population is around 25,000 and is the capital of the Yukon Territories.  The population of the entire Yukon Territory is 35,000.  And is 186,272 square miles in size.  Whitehorse Looked like a nice city and is I am guessing the biggest we will see until we get to Fairbanks.  

It was a nice day today with temps in the mid 70s and sunny. I loved it!!

I did see 2 brown bears along the road, not sure if they were grizzly or brown, but they were big.

I saw them to late to get a picture.

It stays light so late here.  There is 21 hours of daylight today.  The summer solstice is Friday and sounds like they celebrate it. We were told that the campgrounds are going to busy all weekend.  I guess if I only had 5 hours of daylight in the winter I would be celebrating too!!
