Day 11

Saturday - We woke up to a cool and crisp morning in the low fifties and overcast. We left camp before 8:00 and didn’t drive long before it started raining and it got colder. I forgot to mention that the other day we thought it was a little cool while we were driving so I turned on the heat only to realize that the heater coil leaks. Anyway we were about to stop and start the generator to run the heater in the motor home and then the sun came out. We drove to White Horse (490 mile) and seen lots of wildlife even seen a herd of 61 buffalo. About 15 miles west of Watson Lake we had some tire tread that decided it was tired of going round and round and wanted off. Of course it did this without telling me so when it jumped off it made a mess of things. It ripped out the sheet metal fender well under the kitchen cabinets plus got a hold of the main 12 volt wiring harness. It reminds me of what happens to our lives when we jump off of the potter’s wheel when God is molding and shaping us. Well I need to fix this up since it is all open under the kitchen and will make a real mess if it rains or we go down a dirt road. We didn’t get to White Horse till 6:15 and by that time their version of Home Depot was closed. I must remind you that when this happened, we where 250 miles from White Horse and that was the closest place to get material to make the repairs. Since tomorrow is Sunday we have to rethink our trip plans. We were planning to head north of here to Dawson City and then to Tok, Alaska but there are dirt roads that way plus we won’t be able to get materials till we get to Tok. It also is a two day trip. Here are some pictures of the day
