Whitehorse to Toad River BC - September 16, 2010

Left Whitehorse about 8:30am and arrived at Toad River RV campground, Yukon around 7:30pm.  Had brake problems on the trailer today - I'll work on them in the morning after it warms up since it's getting frosty this evening.  I'm hungry and it is getting cold - screw it for tonight.  


This is a small RV park with lots of grass and trees near a small lake.  On the other side of the lake are green pastures that right know contain a herd of Elk, numbering about 35 or 40, with one big bull that has full antlers.  I didn't take pictures because it's too dim this evening.  Since it's cold now the campground shower room is not inviting - its not heated well.  Pull thru sites are gravel and have 30A service with water and sewer.


After parking and getting set up a couple in a motor home came in next door.  They're on their way back home to Snohomish, WA and were visiting a daughter in Anchorage all summer.  He is a VN vet and was a Navy pilot.  Note added later:  We'll cross paths with these folks down the road again.

Morning of the 17th.:  It frosted heavily in the night and we slept in until almost 9am.  Had a good breakfast while the sun was shining brightly and starting to warm us up.  After breakfast I started troubleshooting the brake problem.  I found a loose wire in a junction box in the pin box of the trailer.  Repaired it and the brakes seemed to work fine.  While I worked on the brake problem Betty did laundry at the camp facility -  the dryer didn’t do a good job but we have clean clothes again.

Time to hit the road again and see what today brings.  DRW
