Hi Country Camp Ground - Whitehorse, YK

Sorry for the lack of posts the past few days. We have been in a dark hole (no phone or internet). We will try catching up in the next couple days. Rather than use what day we are on we will be hi-lighting and area or point of interest. So here we go: After some beautiful scenery the past few days, we decided to spend an extra day in Whitehorse at the Hi Country Campground. This is a very nice campground with all the amenities and it also seems to be a favorite stopping point as both nights we were there, the campground was full. Whitehorse is an interesting town with a lot of things to see and do. They even have a Walmart that had around 30 RVs staying in the parking lot (we were told they even have a dump station for RVers). The road from Watson Lake to Whitehorse was a two lane mostly paved with a few areas that were gravel. Rough places and frost heaves in the road were well marked. No problems with traveling this section of the Alaska Highway if you will reduce speed when you see one of the warnings. We fueled up in Whitehorse where we paid $1.31/L or $5.16/gal for diesel.
This was our campsite. It had full hook-ups for $35.91/night.

With idle time in Whitehorse, I had to find something to do???
