Food, Glorious Food





Oh yes, today is a diet disaster. We left the beautiful lake where it was sunny, but very cold and drove straight to Mukluk Annie's, a famed restaurant with all you can eat breakfast. We were waiting for them to open at 7am and had the place all to ourselves. The buffet feast was scrambled eggs, hash browns, bacon, sausage, biscuits and homemade blueberry pancakes cooked to order. I only had the pancakes and couldn't even finish one, but proclaimed it delicious! Jeff did his best with the buffet, but one serving was enough.

We left and continued driving and found ourselves pulling into the driveway of Johnson's Crossing Bakery. This place is famous for cinnamon buns and we got two to go. They are huge and I'm still looking at them at 5pm and wondering what were we thinking. Oh there is always tomorrow morning when hunger may strike. We are eating in for lunch and dinner and did do some grocery shopping today. Do not worry about us as we are not starving out here in the wilderness.

We arrived in Whitehorse around 10am and got things organized at the campground. Our fellow trekkers arrived soon after and we all trudged downtown at 1pm to check out the visitor center and city hall. Whitehorse is a small urban center and is the capital of the Yukon and it's largest city. There are lots of murals on buildings and beautiful mountains surround the area. Now we are back and near collapse after so much eating and fresh air.

Hey - what's for dinner?
