19. Whitehorse, Dawson City and Fairbanks

Mountains, Rivers, Trees, Lakes, and last but not least the ever present Rain.Alaska Highway was built by the US Army, considered one of the
Wonders of the World.

Fort Nelson to Whitehorse blue skies for the first 6 hours and
not so blue for the next 4.

Lots of wildlife, I saw a deer first, then some Moose, then Mountain Goats (twice),
Rabbit, Squirrel, Beaver, Black Bear, Buffalo and calves (twice), only managed to
get pic’s of the goats and buffalo the others were too shy
