It wasn't long, though, before Steve was back...there was already a line up, so he had an appointment at 9:50. In the mean time he had stopped off at the RCMP to see if he could store his rifle with them before crossing into Alaska. He was given the name of a gunsmith in town to try. We don't normally travel with a gun but Steve was hoping to be successful in the Limited Entry moose hunt draw, then he would meet up with his group on our return south to the Prince George area in September. Unfortunately nobody in the group was successful in the draw.
I was basically done at Walmart...it wasn't a Super Walmart so they had very limited groceries. Didn't you get everything you needed yesterday while at the Super Store, you ask? Well, quite frankly, I wasn't at all impressed and had hoped to pick up a few more things at Walmart. I didn't get everything I needed but I did get a few things. I have to realize that we are up north now and things aren't as easily accessible.
After a quick stop next door at Canadian Tire to pick up bottled water that they had on sale, we headed back downtown so Steve could get his haircut...$26.00 for a haircut...the most he has ever paid. The other day another place quoted him $35.00! I sat next door having a cup of coffee at Baked Café, a very popular spot.
The worlds largest weather-vane is sitting out at the entrance...
We went inside, paid the admission fee...and started out tour. Unfortunately, no flashes were allowed inside the museum...very bizarre...so the colour is off on our pics...
They had a very cool model train set depicting 'old Whitehorse'...
And that concludes our tour of the Transportation Museum...it was interesting and very well done.
We paid our admission, were given a self-guided tour map...and off we went. We started in the Mining Courtyard where Sam McGee's Cabin was...
Then to the Outdoor Courtyard...
...and into the Gold to Government Gallery...
It was another very well done museum...but after two museums, we were tired. It felt so good to get back to the truck and sit down!
Then we went for a walk up to the dam...
And this is from beside the top of the dam...Schwatka Lake...
We were finished our sightseeing for today, so we headed home to relax, have dinner and then get ready to go to the Frantic Follies Vaudeville Revue.
The show starts at 8:30 with rush seating when the doors open at 8:00. So we left at about 7:40 to drive downtown to the Westmark Whitehorse Hotel. After parking the truck in a lot a few block from the hotel, we walked the short distance...Steve took this picture of a rather unique building...
Once in the theatre (well actually it was a banquet room in the hotel), we had to move a few times because the seats aren't tiered enough so if someone tall sat in front of you, it was difficult to see the stage. But alas...the show started...
Excellent violin players...
She has a wonderful voice...
Another "volunteer" gathered from the audience...
With only a 10 minute break, the show was over at 10:30. It was excellent...very entertaining! Such a talented group of performers!
Well, after such a full day...we headed straight to bed as soon as we got home...we'd had a great day!
You sure packed a lot of stuff into one day;o)) Keep having fun!!!
