Yes, that's right -- our windshield has a long crack! The highway is under repair in places and that means lots of gravel. The semis throw it up pretty bad so we try to avoid them if we can but our crack came from a pick-up truck! It didn't grow until we got to Watson Lake car wash! We've been told that there is a good window repair guy in Whitehorse.
Today was a travel day. On our way to the Continental Divide we crossed or paralleled the Rancheria and Liard rivers that eventually flow east into the MacKenzie River watershed which flows northward and empties into the Beaufort Sea (Arctic Ocean). From the divide westward all the rivers flow into the Yukon River which makes a 2,300 mile journey across Alaska to empty into the Bering Sea (Pacific Ocean). The Yukon is the 4th or 5th (depending on the source) longest river in North America.
We stopped at a few places along our route to look at the scenery or to get food. Specifically, world famous cinnamon rolls. Enough for breakfast for the next few days (they are that big!).
We arrived in Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon Provence, early afternoon so spent some time driving thru the town, checking out the grocery stores, attractions and restaurants. We had supper at the local hot-spot of Klondike Rib and Salmon BBQ -- pretty good food.
