                    <title>Skagway</title>
                    <description>I forgot about the wind. When Walter warned me about bears in the Carcross Desert and suggested the little patch of sand between the water and the warehouse I forgot about how windy it was that afternoon. And I had even read an information plaque somewhere about how the Tagish First Nation name for the spot translates to always windy spot or something like that. I was woken several times by</description>

                    <title>Atlin</title>
                    <description>Despite setting up in the rain I woke up to bright sunshine. The rain had stopped and the clouds had cleared through the night. The wind however was still high and it wasn39t pleasant. I don39t know about this warm north in the summer. I39m not really experiencing it that way so far. I decided pretty much immediately that I wasn39t really wanting to stay in Atlin enjoying the atmosp</description>

                    <title>A Second Day of Museuming in Whitehorse</title>
                    <description>My second morning of this visit to Whitehorse dawned clear and bright once again. It was hard to believe that they had been having a crappy spring and summer except for the fact that it was so chilly. I haven39t worn my shorts really much at all since Inuvik where it was very nice and warm. I took my time as I had noted that things didn39t really open before 9 in the morning if not 10.

                    <title>Whitehorse</title>
                    <description>Apparently the weather has been terrible in Whitehorse for the past couple of years. I39ve been told it39s been cold and rainy a lot of the time. So far I haven39t had that experience. It39s been quite nice aside from the little rain shower my first night here. And it was nice again today if a bit chilly. For all the sunlight they get around here in the summer it hasn39t really w</description>

                    <title>Kluane National Park</title>
                    <description>After looking at the schedules for the ferry from Haines to Skagway I found that there is only one a day and not everyday at that and that it is at an inconvenient time. It goes at 1245 in the afternoon and arrives at 145. There seemed to me no way I was going to be able to check out Kluane National Park and Preserve visit the local cultural centre and be able to get down to Haines in time </description>

                    <title>Back to Canada</title>
                    <description>In the Tok campground as the sun was setting late late at night the clouds got a funky shade of pink and orange. It was quite a sight and was great way to end my day. The next morning I headed off to the east and back to Canada. One thing I have noticed about Alaska is that they seem to have things not quite sorted out for their highways. For instance there are numerous scenic view turnouts t</description>

                    <title>Bidding Farewell to Denali and Moving On</title>
                    <description>There was still the lower visitor centre at Denali National Park that I hadn39t seen yet. I headed over there after getting up and had a look. It was quite interesting with lots of displays of animals and their habitats. I am getting more and more impressed with the interpretive material put up in national parks in Canada and the US. I decided that I would stay around and watch the sled dog dem</description>

                    <title>A Day With Denali</title>
                    <description>The computer systems management for the whole process of visiting Denali National Park may be screwed up but the actual visit to the park is quite easy. Voytek and I made our way to the transportation centre for our 900 shuttle bus that was to go up to the visitor centre at Eielson some 66 miles into the park. It left a bit late but that wasn39t a problem. Our driver was JJ. He wasn39t a</description>

                    <title>Driveby Denali</title>
                    <description>The tallest peak in North America is in Alaska. In the early 20thCentury it was christened Mt. McKinley after the then president who had never set foot in Alaska. Almost immediately the cries went up that that was a ridiculous thing to do. I don39t know how the First Nations reacted to this. They didn39t have a strong voice at that time so their reaction was likely ignored. I suspect they </description>

                    <title>Wrapping up Dawson City</title>
                    <description>The day of my oil change dawned well. It had looked like it was going to rain again. I had endured rain the night before but the tent proved to be up to the challenge. Of course I discovered that I should have wiped up water from between the tent and the tarp I put on the ground before I left for my day the day before. When I went to go to bed there was water that had soaked through the canvas </description>

                    <title>A Sea Life Centre and A Wildlife Rescue Sanctuary</title>
                    <description>I selected a nice spot along the river. It was quite a good spot and nobody seemed to be particularly interested in it. There were a lot of cars passing back and forth along the road in front of the spot I had chosen. It was secluded and close to the river. But the walk to the river dredged up a bunch of mosquitoes so I only went once and I didn39t end up staying that long as a result. But the</description>

                    <title>Panic for no Reason</title>
                    <description>When I set up the trip from Seward to Kenai Fjord National Park the boat was to leave at 1130 in the morning. Seward is located about 120 miles from Anchorage. But there is like many places in northern countries two main seasons on roads winter and construction. It is supposed to be about a 2 and a half hour drive from Anchorage to Seward. The women in the tour off in Anchorage told me to giv</description>

                    <title>Disappointment and the Anchorage Museum</title>
                    <description>First the disappointment. In Dawson City when I got my oil change the repair guy let me know that a couple of belts in the car needed changing as they were cracking. He told me to get it done as soon as was reasonable but I wasn39t in any particular danger. He also told me that it wouldn39t be too expensive. Well I went to a Midas place in Anchorage and inquired about getting it done and</description>

                    <title>On to Anchorage</title>
                    <description>I got up fairly early and was treated to fog wisping about on the surface of the lake. It was quite beautiful. I felt lucky even though it wasn39t what I had thought it would be when the guy in the state park the day before had told me about it. Nevertheless I felt quite wellrested all things considered. My back was rather unforgiving though. I got up and went into town to try to find some p</description>

                    <title>Deflected to Valdez</title>
                    <description>The rain came during the night but I didn39t have too much of a problem because I had gotten my tent up while it was still not raining the night before. The tent is fairly waterproof so far and only a little water came through the fabric. I was comfy inside with no difficulty. The only problem was getting it all dry enough in the morning to put away. But I did it. Then I headed off down the ro</description>

                    <title>Another Day Another Dawson City Experience</title>
                    <description>The tour group I had met in Inuvik was also experiencing Dawson City. Some had taken a trip up the Top Of The World Highway the day before and now they were back in town. One of them Alice hadn39t gone and I met her the day before. She mentioned that she had heard of the Paddlewheeler Graveyard. That sounded intriguing and nostalgic. She was going to go and find it and I asked if I could go</description>

                    <title>Dawson City and Part of What Stephen Harper Wants to Take Apart</title>
                    <description>First a rant then on to less upsetting topics. And I hope nobody would be unkind enough to suggest that they are also boring or useless topics at hand. To be honest when I heard about what was entailed in the latest budget this past spring I wasn39t too concerned. There were going to be cuts to Parks Canada and that was likely going to result in cuts to some services that were offered by </description>

                    <title>Back to Dawson City</title>
                    <description>The evening got a bit more exciting when I was sitting in the cooking shelter at the campground before I went to bed. I was sitting quietly when I heard a bang on one of the garbage containers outside. I looked out and there was a wolf. It was skulking about but didn39t run off when I went outside to take a photo. That was really neat. I only got a couple of blurry photos of it but I am very </description>

                    <title>Walking Around Inuvik</title>
                    <description>I began my day quite late. I had intended on being up by 9 in the morning but I set my alarm on my watch for 9. The problem was that it was still on Yukon time which is Pacific Standard Time while the Northwest Territories are on Mountain Standard Time. Oops. But that was okay. My plans for the day were nebulous. I had met some guys at the campground the night before. They were from Edmonton </description>

                    <title>Inuvik and the Arctic Ocean</title>
                    <description>The perennial sunlight is wreaking havoc with my internal clock. It39s really hard to tell what time it might be. So my sleeping time is moving gradually later and later. I ended up getting up around 9 but I really had no idea what time it was until I found my watch. The mozzies that had chased me into my tent the night before were still about and caused a hurried pack up and into the car. Tha</description>
