Good Morning from Whitehorse. Another cool, beautiful, sunny day.
Barb's doing the wash and I'm catching up with maintenance things on the motorhome and, of course, downloading and selecting pics to post. We'll be heading out later this morning for the Top of the World (TOW) highway.
I guess I have to back up a bit to Watson Lake and a couple pics from the Sign Post Forest.
These show just a small part of the 'forest'
Saw a lot of Buffalo along the highway on the way to Watson Lake.
Also saw this stone sheep along the road.
Muncho Lake is on the road from Toad River to Watson Lake.
Hope this pic shows the emerald green of the the lake.....simply awsome.
The trip from Teslin to Whitehorse was a short one, only about 100 miles. We pulled into the Pioneer RV park about 2:30 in the afternoon and after setting up, drove into Whitehorse. Whitehorse is the capitol of the Yukon Territory, so I was expecting a large busy city. It is not. Except for the government building, few buildings go above two stories, and driving around town is easy. We saw the whole town in about a half hour.
This is where we had dinner.....we had neither ribs nor salmon, but the halibut was excellent!
Name this dessert and win $10.00 Canadian. It has blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, apple and rhubarb. (contest open to grandkids only)
After dinner we went to this show. It was FANTASTIC! We laughed till we hurt. Unfortunately, we didn't take pictures, though we found later we could have.
We returned to the campground around 10:30, and took this picture. It was light enough to play outside till at least eleven o'clock.
That brings us up to date....we'll be leaving Whitehorse in about an hour or so for the TOW highway.
Till the next time, take care have fun and be safe.
Ron & Barb
Hi Grammy and Papmeister~
ReplyDeleteThis is your favorite granddaughter (HAHA!) responding to your "name the pie" challenge. I believe the pie is called Forest Pie or Fruits of the Forest Pie. I know about this pie from drooling over the many dessert options from our Joe Corbi sales for the band. Wahoo for me!! Hope you enjoyed your pie -- it looked yummy! I love looking at your pictures, Pap -- they look very professional. Grammy, I finally saw your hiking picture and am very proud of you for your stamina in extreme conditions! The bears were adorable, too! Love you and miss you lots,
MANDY ;-)
PS from Mandy ~
ReplyDeleteWhen do I get my 10 bucks?!!! (in cash, I mean ... not the animal!) Hehe!
Mandy, that was a VERY good guess, but......WRONG!!!
ReplyDeleteI'll give clues from time to time.
First clue.......BEE
Is the famous dessert Rubarb Pie? The bears are soooo cute. Miss you soo much!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Samantha
Gasp!!! Well that was a slap in the face! Those Canadians must speak a different language cause my momma and I were positive it was Fruits of the Forest Pie! Ok I'm just throwing some out there, but I now guess: Bumble Bee Pie, or Bumbleberry Pie? You two got me addicted to this pie, whatever it is. :) Keep having fun and being safe on your amazing trip! Cant wait to see more "professional photos"! Love Ya!!!
ReplyDeleteYour favorite, mandy
Mandy, you make us laugh!ha ha. However, YOU'RE THE WINNER of the first grandkid contest. It is a Bumbleberry pie, and deeeelicious. You can find the recipe online if you want to make one.
ReplyDeleteLove, Gram & Pap
P.S. Would you rather have 5 loonies or a $10.00 Canadian bill?
Wowee!!! Yay! Sorry~ im a little tired, but finding out that I won the PIE CONTEST just woke me up!!! Anyways, I'm glad you enjoyed the pie. We should bake one when you come home sometime! To respond to your P.S., I am just wondering if this is a trick question. Is the $10 Canadian bill like, $2 in America? Just have to avoid any internet scams, you know. Just kidding; I trust you guys! I hope its ok if I decide on the prize when you return. Im curious to see what they look like, first! Love you and thank you!
