It's still the Yukon

"The extreme climate and remoteness meant that the prices of food and supplies were high and news from the world outside the Klondike in short supply."^[167][173]

Some things haven't changed much since the gold rush days.  Yesterday on the ALCAN I paid $18.75 for a bowl of good chili and a bowl of bad chicken noodle soup.  Of course that came with toast. Oh and a glass of water. Internet reception is sketchy at best since I crossed into Canada.  Today I have a good strong signal at the campground in Watson Lake, but so does everyone else!  I click SEND on an email and then go wash a load of laundry. So much for working.

I'd like to post some pictures for those of you following, but its too painfully slow.  Maybe when I reach 49.

All is well.  Headed over the Rockies tomorrow to Whitehorse....then maybe a tangent down to Skagway.
