Whitehorse, Yukon
July 9th
This is really getting weird. We arrived back in Whitehorse, the capital of
the Yukon, in the midst of a drizzle.
Momma went to check in and Dad pulled the rig into the empty slot for
the highpressure RV wash to get the construction crud off the rig and
truck.
The ride here was another delightful, awesome trip.
As the day wore on, Momma discovered that the water wasn’t
getting hot. Dad began some problem
solving and determined that tomorrow, Monday, he would be heading to an RV
parts supply to see if he could possibly get us up and heated once again.
Now the weird thing is, the last time....on our way into
Alaska….Aunt Janice and Uncle Robin had hot water woes and had to purchase a
replacement part right here in Whitehorse.
This time in Whitehorse, WE were having hot water issues. Is it something about this area? Or maybe just convenient timing as
Whitehorse, being a larger city (when compared to the other Yukon cities, not
the lower 48) has parts available.
Someone is definitely watching over us.
Needless to say, Dad is a wizard and he we are back in hot
water once again. Go Dad!! And the good thing is, when you do the conversion from Canadian to US dollars, it becomes an even cheaper part.
British Columbia has been having loads of fires. Lightning has struck and it is so dry with no
rain that fires are starting up. We will
be heading down the Cassier Highway, Hwy 37
but that area is clear right now.
The visitor center told us that part of the Alaskan Highway was effected
by smoke so if we were heading in that direction, we might experience delays
waiting for the smoke to clear. I guess we did good planning even if it wasn't intentional.
Enjoying the Yukon....and HOT water from the wizard!!
