On The Road South

For two days we traveled further south.  Our first stop was at Carmacks where we repaired the vent on the ceiling fan and then on to Teslin via Whitehorse.  There were lots of beautiful views when it wasn't raining.  Unfortunately it did rain a lot.  The rain let up when we stopped at Whitehorse.  We visited the Transportation Museum with the world’s largest weather vane, a DC 3 that points into the wind at all times.  We also drove over to the world’s longest fish ladder.  The ladder was built to allow spawning salmon to get around a hydroelectric dam on the Yukon River.  Too bad we are about two weeks early before the salmon get to this point in their migration.  We will still get to see the salmon as the ladder has a webcam that we can log into when we get back.
