First time in the Yukon.

We started in the rain again, but after 1/2 hour it let up and the rest of the day was great. The road was nice and the scenery was awesome!  There was a herd of woodland bison that walked by our hotel.  By the time I got ready for a picture, just one was left though. 

We stopped for lunch at Teslin for some really crappy food and really crappy service. The view coming into Teslin was beautiful though. 

Then back on the road and really enjoying it, until my stomach started acting up. About 75 km from Whitehorse, I had to pull over and head for the bush for a toilet break. I am sure the Ham in my salad was bad and was the cause of the violent diarrhea. This has happened to Karen a few times in the past, but I usually have a cast iron stomach. The whole family laughed and laughed. It is always funnier when it happens to dad😖. 

We finally got into Whitehorse and found a nice hotel for the night. After a quick clean up, we walked a few blocks to a highly recommended restaurant called Yukon Salmon and Ribs. We had to wait about 30 minutes to get in. 

Jada had Elk Stroganoff and Brandon had Reindeer Stew. I stuck with Salmon and Ribs and Karen had Pasta. The food was pretty good but took forever. The waitress was nice and gave us free desert though. 

We are heading further North this morning to try to get through some construction that is supposed to take 3 hours to get through. We want to get through without rain and today looks like the day to do it. 

Fingers crossed!
Stew.
