We had a long drive on Tuesday, August 27, from Fairbanks to Discovery Yukon RV park south of Beaver Creek, Yukon. We stopped at the North Pole to allow Woody to see Santa Claus, and then we were driving . . . and driving . . . and driving.
One highlight was that we saw a lynx standing on the road. At first I thought it was a coyote, because it had such long legs, but the tufts on its ears, its big feet, and the short tail gave it away. We came upon it pretty quickly and did not get a good picture – even Garmin didn’t get one – but we have it in our memory, which is second-best.
After an easy border crossing and a stop at Buckshot Betty’s to get a shirt for Katie and a performance shirt for Char, we got to the RV park in time to walk the dogs and look at the museum of military equipment and Alaska Highway roadmaking equipment. Some could interpret it as a pile of junk, but it really isn’t, and for those who appreciate such things, it is a fascinating look at history. I did get up in the middle of the night, hoping to see an aurora, but no such luck. Maybe tomorrow.
