1018 August 21, 2023 Yukon Discovery Day

I had a hard time being motivated this morning.  Some days are just like that.  I did finally go out and walk.

Tim took his bike and rode from the campground into town.  While he was gone, I was able to vacuum and wash floors. 

I drove the Jeep into town and started to bike along the river.  Tim met me and we tooled around for a while.  I was happy to be cycling and enjoyed the beautiful day.

We had to check on the progress at the building site.  Today, the rodbusters were putting up props to support the second layer of the rebar mat.

This evening, we took our dinner back to the bench by the river.

Afterward, we drove to the dam and looked at the fish ladder.  So far this season, 49 chinook or have climbed the ladder that bypasses the dam.

Today was Yukon Discovery Day.  This holiday commemorates the discovery of gold in this region.  There were no celebrations in Whitehorse.  We did learn that in Dawson City there were festivities but that is a long way away from here!
