Oct 5 – Whitehorse to Dawson City
With out gift certificate in hand for our night at a brothel (okay- Dar will change this to former brothel), we head out for Dawson City. It’s 535km from Whitehorse. So, 5 hours drive – right? If you come from southern Ontario and think of the 401. But we are not in Kansas anymore. We…

Day 1: Heading North of 60
We are off to an exciting start: a pat down at airport security (not as invasive as you might think) and an unconfirmed sighting of Jean Chretien in the Ottawa airport! So far so good but should be a long day with 3 flights to go! It was a long day – but awesome to…
