Sam’s View
Today we went to a wildlife
refuge and saw goats, muskox, bison, caribou, foxes, and ground squirrels! One of
the squirrels yelled at me and I jumped! After that, we went to the S.S
Klondike paddleboat. It had 5 floors! Then we ate at The Klondike restaurant!
After we came back, we went in the hot springs and I found a tooth in the
water!
Summer’s View
Although it was raining – again –
Sam and I went to the Yukon Wildlife Refuge a mile down the road from the
campground. We did the walking tour, which was about 3 miles, and we saw the
usual northern creatures of bison, muskox, and caribou. They also had some Thin
Horned Sheep, which were very similar to the Big Horn Sheep, but smaller. They
had a few lambs, and one really new one only a day or two old! Some Snowshoe
Hares were sharing their enclosure with the local ground squirrels, who were
quite tolerant of our presence, letting us get very close before chattering and
running away.
Later, we all went to Whitehorse
and stopped by the S.S.Klondike, which is an old paddleboat freighter that used
to travel the local rivers. We stopped in and found out it was the last 30
minutes of the last day of the season to view it! Afterwards, we stopped to eat
at the Klondike Bar and Grill, which is one of the oldest buildings in
Whitehorse. We finished the day up with another trip to the Takhini Hot Springs
– ahh!
