Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

Critters and nature's creations

6/7/2016 Tuesday  Start: Takhini Hot Springs, Whitehorse YT  End: Cogdon CG, Kulane, NP, YT

We were up early so that Mike could take the truck into Whitehorse for an oil change.  While he was in town, I went to the Yukon Wildlife Preserve.  I saw elk with a 2 day old baby, caribou, deer, bison, musk ox, dahl sheep, big horn sheep, mountain goats, lynx, white fox, Arctic hare, bald eagle and a snowy owl. The tour guide explained each animal and how they care for and protect them. Quite a treat!

Mike picked me up and we went onto the Alaska Highway heading north toward Tok.  We got to Kluane National Park about 2:00 pm.  It is a massive mountain range that spans the Canadian U.S. border.  It is named for the lake that the highway weaves around.  We settled in at the Cogdon Campground on the lake, had dinner and a fire and enjoyed the deep silence.
I'm making a face because of the gnats
