Well, it's snowing in Whitehorse today. We can't seem to escape the weather, or it's following us.

But a little snow is not going to keep us in, so we set out in the jeep to see what Whitehorse is all about. It's a pretty cute little town, population 23,100. There's lots of new buildings going up, so apparently it's growing, but it is definitely geared towards tourism.
We had dinner last night at the Edgewater Hotel, and the food was excellent. I had the halibut, Henry had the steak.

We will be up early tomorrow and on the highway, with plans to arrive in Anchorage sometime on Wednesday.
