Haines Junction to Whitehorse YT

It wasn't a long drive today from Haines Junction to Whitehorse--only about 120 miles.  We stopped to view an iconic statue before we left Haines Junction this morning.  Locals call it "the cupcake"  because the base of it is shaped like the paper that a cupcake comes in.  The top is shaped like a mountain with a mountain climber looking through binoculars on top and the various animals-bear, wold, moose, caribou, Dall sheep, and mountain goats-all over the mountain.  It is very interesting and unique.

It was another rough and dusty road, and our cars and RV's were covered in dust.  The guys took the car and truck to a car wash immediately when we got here, but there was no place to take the RV's , so they remain dust-covered.  We decided to stay somewhere other than the Pioneer RV Park where we usually go, and we found the Hi Country Park just a few miles down the road.  It is much nicer than the Pioneer--it even has trees!  We did some grocery shopping at the Super Store, then enjoyed happy hour outdoors for a change.  Off to Watson Lake tomorrow.
