July 11th, 12th, 13th

Today heading for Whitehorse. (Have to get the tire fixed)!
Whitehorse








Made it to Fireweed R.V. Services ltd. in Whitehorse. Very nice owner said we could stay there with water and electricity till Monday morning when they could start work on the RV tire. So we went for a nice dinner at Klondike Rib and Salmon BBQ, Brad had the Muskox stroganoff and I had the Artic Char with sundried tomatoes +. Sunday we toured the city and went to a lot of museums. Found Starbuck's it's been awhile, Yummy! Monday morning David Robertson the owner of Fireweed RV, took a look to get started and saw we had another flat tire on the same side as the first one 5 days before.








As it turns out we had two cracked rims and one tire gone. Found rims at one store and got Fountain Tire to put the tires on them. They were great, put them on right away. Took the tires back to Fireweed and they put new studs in the one hub (one was bent) and put the tires back on. Can't say enough about this great RV shop! Professional, Friendly, Reasonable it made the pain $$$ a little easier to take.
On our way by 3:30pm and stopped to see the Conair guys in Carmacks (out of Whitehorse base). They seemed surprised when we drove up. Had a short chat with them and then went to find campground and have dinner. Saw them fly overhead going back to Whitehorse base.
Went for a drive around Carmacks, following the brochure that says Walking Tour (Very nice brochure). It's a dive! all the places to see were overgrown and run down. WE DON'T RECOMMEND THIS STOP! Tomorrow we are going into Faro for the day.
