June 11, Went into town, Whitehorse, which has been the capital of Yukon since 1953, today to visit the different museums.  We took a scenic drive to town and saw the Miles Canyon, water was greenish looking, beautiful.  First visit was to the information center, she showed us the different places in town to see, also got a free parking pass for the next few days.  Next we drove to see the Dam and Fish Ladder, world’s longest wooden, only saw the salmon babies, the larger salmon don't’ arrive until July.  Walked through the S.S. Klondike, a grand old stern-wheeler which sits beside the Yukon River, which has 7,000 artifacts on display, it was built in 1929 and was the largest on the Yukon, had a cargo capacity 50% greater than previous boats and could carry over 300 tons.  Next onto the Old Log Church, which opened in 1900 and then to the MacBride Museum, which has a comprehensive view of the colorful characters and events that built Canada’s Yukon.  Then to the World’s largest weathervane, a Douglas DC-3, a vintage plane that was built in 1942, after blowing an engine on takeoff in 1970, it was then stripped for parts and parked at the Whitehorse airport.  At last we visited the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center, it traces the Ice Age in northern and central Yukon, which, unlike the rest of Canada was ice-free.  Had skeletons of the great woolly mammoths, giant short-faced bears and lions.
