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 […]

The minute you walk outside you can feel that the pace and lifestyle is more relaxed. We started the day with a brief hunt for an iPhone charging cable which Bruce forgot. The first store we tried didn’t have one but got directed to The Source beside the Wal-Mart, close to the Canadian Tire. As […]

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 […]
