Today was a day to relax and explore Whitehorse. After a sleep in we started out with laundry.  After that we headed over to the visitors center to use their free internet.  Ton checked on the status of things back in Oregon and let everyone know we were ok. Ron published the blog and did some research on the Demptser Highway.

After the research was done we walked along the waterfront and visited the SS Klondike.  The Klondike is the last paddle wheel steamer that ran on the Yukon River.  It was retired in 1955 but has been beautifully restored by Parks Canada.  On top of that due to it being the 150th anniversary of Canada all National Parks are free this year.

There was one more brewery in town so we had to check it out.  We tried a taster of all of their beers and they were quite good.

The last stop for the night was Walmart where we are sitting for the night.  The price is right and there are about 20 other campers including ones from Germany, Austria, and Romania, so free is a good price all around world.
