Today we travel from Teslin Lake to White Horse. It is the shortest driving day so far and the weather is sunny with a few showers. Again the scenery is breath taking. Abundant forests, snow-capped mountains and lush greenery are along the entire route. Lots of lakes and rivers today, but no animals appeared. We did have several road delays as one bridge was being redecked. Apparently this is the fifth summer of road work on the bridge and the wait to cross is many minutes. The good news is the Johnson Crossing cafe with world famous cinnamon buns is at the other side. They were delicious!
We visited a small museum dedicated to George Johnston, a Teslin Lake First Nation member, who was a photographer and entrepreneur. The museum had wild animal displays, an excellent movie and George's 1928 Chevrolet that was the town's first car, even though they had no roads. He drove it on the frozen lake.
Arriving at Whitehorse we found a small, vibrant city and our group went downtown to the tourist information center to see their movie. We also visited city hall to get complimentary parking passes and lapel pins. After walking around a little we went back to the campground to cook dinner and relax. We'll be here three nights so it's a good chance to explore the area.
