It was really nice to sleep in this morning, not having to "jump up" and pack up and head out for the day. We woke up to gorgeous sunshine! How divine! We sat outside and drank our coffee and didn't make a move until 9am (which is VERY lazy for us!) We got ourselves sorted out and rode the bikes into town with a list of some shopping errands. We ran out of room on our memory chip for our GoPro video camera so we picked up a couple more of those along with a few other odds and ends. The big task was to find new tires for the travel trailer. Up here they have miles and miles of "chip seal" roads - at home we call it seal-coat but the stuff up here is particularly abrasive. We couldn't believe how it's eaten through our tires and the ones on the trailer have taken a huge beating and are almost bald! We hit several tire stores (who are the only ones who LOVE the chip-seal roads here!) and no one carries the size we need so we decided to make do with an alternative and hope for the best!
After all of that, we went downtown and looked for some lunch. We decided to go to the Klondike Rib and Salmon Restaurant. If you've ever been to Whitehorse, you'll know which place it is... it's the one with about 50 people lined up down the street every night. We were smart and went for a late lunch at 2pm and there was hardly anyone there but they still serve their same killer BBQ ribs. Yes - it's worth all the hullabaloo. They were fantastic!
After that, we wandered around, taking some pictures of the old log church and poking around some of the shops.
We bought a few groceries and headed back to our camp. We were exhausted (I think the last week of long days and weather extremes were catching up with us) and we both had a huge power nap. We'll have a quiet evening sitting around the campfire, BBQing a couple of steaks and that will be the extent of the day. Tomorrow - Dawson City.
