EXPLORING THE LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN

June  14  2018

Today we were welcomed to Whitehorse by Brian's cousin Jim and his wife Pat and their dog Mattie and one of his other cousins Edith.  Jim & Pat live in a really cool lakefront home on beautiful Marsh Lake which is approx 40 min south of the town of Whitehorse.

 The view from their home is amazing. 

Oh and they have their own beautiful sandy beach. Yahoooo.

On our second day camping at Jim & Pat's Brian & Jim went on a "hike" (Brian rode an ATV and Jim did all the hiking)  up to Judas Mountain.  Incredible views.  Plus Jim is Brian's older cousin and Brian on the ATV couldn't keep up with him  Jim is in incredible shape and is extremely active as a skier and hiker.  And the view 

We had a lot of fun and a great couple of days at Jim & Pat's   Thanks to them for their incredible hospitality.

Today is Father's day so we took a trip to Carcross which is approx 56 K south of Whitehorse.  We met up with Brian's cousins Edith, Diane and of course Jim & Pat.

Carcross is a unique village dating back to the gold rush days with lots of original buildings and some new buildings that house some local artisans.

Had a great Father's Day dinner with the cousins at the only restaurant in Carcross and the food was amazing.  Local and house made food (Brian had a Bison Burger) and all of the food superb.

And only I could find so many beaches in the Yukon   This beautiful one was right in Carcross
