Spent yesterday morning in White Horse, Capital of the Yukon Territory. Visited a large paddle wheel Steamer that provided access to the Yukon, delivered supplies and shipped out gold during the gold rush. We headed down the Alaska Highway after lunch and turned off on to a great secondary road, the Cassairs Highway. Dirt, gravel and a beautiful ride yesterday and today with the roads improving as we got further south. We went up a huge lake, 78 miles long, totally undeveloped. We passed through a lot of small native villages, obviously very poor folks. Had some near misses with Big Horned Sheep and black bears today. Primitive camped on a gorgeous lake last night and looking at a dirty glacier tonight.
