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
