Pine Lake to Whitehorse, Yukon on the Alaska Highway
5 September 2009
Every day starts with a dog walk. Tazz has taken to sand and water, so she was very excited at the beach! Jake was scrounging for something or other.

Neither dog was interested in the bird near the dock.

And a morning stroll!
It seems every Yukon campground has a sign that warns of a bear in the area.
Signs, sign, everywhere a sign ...
The dog walk included a stroll out to the Alaska Highway for a view of the mountains to the west, plus the clouds skimming the mountain tops.

Heading south towards Whitehorse it doesn't take long to reach Canyon Creek.

The gas station and campground at the Otter Falls cut-off was closed this year. Last year their fuel prices were the cheapest in the area, so it was disappointing to see their doors locked.

Whitehorse
About 60 miles outside of Whitehorse, the landscape becomes flatter and remains interesting.
The sign indicated there are 108 km to drive to Whitehorse, Yukon
In Whitehorse, we wanted to get fuel, fill with water, dump the tanks and buy groceries. Also on the list was stocking up on the excellent beer made by the Yukon Brewing Company.
There is a dump station next door to the Whitehorse Wal-Mart. .

acceptable

No, we didn't stay the night at Wal-Mart! And I don't recommend using the dump station next door as the concrete slopes the wrong way and your tank won't dump completely!
