Yesterday as we were taking our time getting ready to travel the 100 miles from Haines Jct to Whitehorse our neighboring RV traveler noticed we had a ruined tire on the trailer. Gary put on the spare and we stopped at a tire shop here. While we were getting new tires a rig from Idaho and 1 from Montana came in for the same tire. Turns out chip seal, the road surface, is hard on trailer tires. These guys are experts at changing tires and we were on the road in 1/2 hour. Met up with Ken and Garnet at the RV park. We decided to stay here another day. The guys are golfing this morning and Garnet and I went to the grocery store and from the photo, you can see Starbucks in the background. We are enjoying chai tea and using their internet. This was the home of Robert Service who wrote The Cremation of Sam McGee. The sculpture is in memory of that. This is an old town, 27,000 pop. so has lots of shops and RV repair shops. We found a wonderful quilt shop here, could have stayed there all afternoon, also a great helpful visitors center. We drove past Whitehorse on the way north on the bypass at 50 mph and missed the whole town. God has blessed this trip in many ways and this tire experience is just the last example of his graciousness.
