 Salmon will be here in about 2 weeks.  They travel over 1800 miles in 3 months.

 This is the longest salmon ladder in the world

Modern transportation

Whitehorse

 Downtown Whitehorse the largest city in the Yukon.  About 26,000  Only 36,000 in all of the Yukon

 Klondike the steamship used before highways

Teslin to Whitehorse

Very easy drive today.  2 1/2 hours.  Whitehorse is a large city in the Yukon.  A Walmart and a decent grocery store.  However at the grocery you must pay a dollar for your shopping cart.  You get your dollar back when you return your cart. 
There was a car wash at the campground.  My poor car got washed.
The trip has been nice, a little tiring.  The weather is cold at night but very warm during the day.  94 very unusual here.
For the most part the roads have been good.  Some frost heaves but they are marked so you can slow down.  We will be here 3 days then a long drive and 3 nights in Dawson City.  This is the most beautiful place I have ever been. Expensive.

8 to 10 % downgrades.

July 21 Dawson Creek to Ft Nelson

Long 6 hours.  The first real rain we have had.  Beautiful in Ft Nelson.  Hot...284 miles of the Alaska Highway.  March of 1942 10,000 troops swarmed into Dawson Creek to start building the road to Alaska.  All US money, men, and equipment. The road was built to protect the west coast from Japan.  1200 miles in Canada and 200 in Alaska were to be built as soon as possible.  4 regiments were to start in different locations.  3 to 4 miles were built in a day.  There was no limit set on the amount of money or equipment to do the job.  The total cost was over $138 million.  Let me tell you the road is still rough.
