Breakfast was eaten in the car as we headed east out of Beaver Creek, Yukon. The route had lots of frost heaves, loose gravel and washouts. Destruction Bay served as a break to stretch our legs and get a coffee. We followed the Kuane River with the St. Elias mountain range on the other side of us. The fireweed painted the hills pink. Along the way, a young porcupine made its way out to say hello to us.
We filled up with petrol in Haines Junction. Our next stop was Whitehorse. The big city offered an early supper at Big Bear-a trendy eatery. Near our hotel, there was a musical festival and our kids enjoyed the local playground. Our daughter was excited to speak French to some of the families. We traveled 224 miles on not so good roads today.
