Driving South to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory

This section of the Klondike
Highway has Chip Seal
pavement.






The thin, asphalt and tar covering makes the roadway smooth and dust free.

Moose Creek Lodge in

Mayo, Yukon Territory

A helicopter...

I wonder if people are
flightseeing.

About ten miles down the road

we pass this overturned truck.

Someone has written in the dust

on the door that the vehicle was

 checked & there's no one inside.

I wonder if the helicopter is looking for the person(s) from the truck.

We pass the sign for

the Silver Trail.

We are skipping the dead end trip to Keno City.

Chip Seal is a very thin layer of

pavement that is easily broken

up for removal & repaving.

A water truck goes through
the construction area.

The dust will be minimal.

Mud splotches cover the

rear camera lens.

We'll clean that up the

next time we stop.

The maximum speed is
90 kilometers an hour,
or 56 miles per hour.

These motorcyclists have

face shields on their helmets

& windshields on their bikes.

Look at the bottom light...

We have 69 seconds to wait
before the light turns green.

Eric tells me that the roadway

will be put on top of the

bridge decking that we see today.

The approaches to both ends of the bridge will be built up to make the transition from road to bridge as smooth as possible for the driver.  

What is that tractor trailer

doing in our lane?

We'll stop at the Coal Mine

Campground & Canteen for

coffee & to stretch our legs.

The  Coal Mine is
Motorcycle Friendly.

Carmacks is the Hub

of the Yukon.

Another section of road is
being groomed.

Braeburn Lodge is known

for their Cinnamon Buns

The nearby airport is known
as the Cinnamon Bun Strip.

The lead bicyclist has a carrier

for extra gear.

We arrive in Whitehorse.
