Bear Loon Lake to Bennet Lake
We woke to light rain and Loons and gulls calling. At 5:00 AM no one was up save me. It had rained off and on most of the night. Before we fell asleep Terry mentioned that the tent might have a leak he had ignored. Thankfully he was wrong. However in a small tent there are always wet spots. As soon as the rain stopped, he suggested that we should start packing up. I had been awake for hours, so I was ready. Inside the tent, only one of us has room to pack up at a time.
We were catching the train at noon. It was an easy walk down to the station. When the train arrived the conductor jumped off. It was Jeremy a friend from our Skagway days. The hour and a half ride to Carcross was beautiful.
We had a super lunch at the town’s bistro. At the gas station we met two guys who had pushed their helicopters from the landing strip over to the gas pumps. They were heading around the world in their tiny copters.
It rained on the bus trip into Whitehorse. We dined on a camp meal in our motel room.
