Day 5

We woke to helicopters staging to fight the forest fires.  Clear sailing as we leave, no smoke in sight.  It is getting chilly and the skies are clouding up.  Time to leave.  I am trying out the video camera on my helmet today so I can get some shots of Kurt.  Some expansive valley views surrounded by mountains.  Lakes and rivers are everywhere.  The Teslin Lake is miles long and really enhances the beauty of the ride for us  We are seeing about 3 Harleys for every adventure bike on the road... where are you guys?  We pulling into the town of Teslin and stop by the Yukon Hotel for a very mediocre meal.  As we were heading out Kurt suggested I stop in the gift shop to see if I can find a cool sticker for my panniers.  While I was looking around I noticed a display of 4 or 5 large stuffed fish in a back room and decided to check them out.  Wow was I ever surprised by their Wildlife Museum.  Some of the most realistic animals I have ever seen in a regular museum.  The taxidermist was a true artist.  He even posed a large bull moose on one leg being attacked by 3 wolves.  It is a must see!  We also continue to be impressed by all the government campgrounds.  They are in the countrysides most beautiful settings.  We are headed to Whitehorse for a bed and bath and a good dinner!  Can you say Margarita?  Not really sure that 3 weeks is enough time to really seeing this country and we haven't even gotten to Alaska!  We finally pull into Whitehorse and scope out hotels settling on the Klondike Inn.  The room is satisfactory and the bathroom has a big bath tub for soaking in.  That is where I am headed.
