On the Yukon Trail

On the road again

Well, they say all good things must come to an end, and so has my time in Whitehorse. 

There are a lot of reasons - some of which I hope to write about. And a lot of lessons, too. 

But mostly, there are memories. Fond ones of the people and places that made my adventure one that I will never, ever forget. 

On to the next one...

While almost all of the country’s major newspapers led with the news of Clinton’s nomination, many — including the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, the Buffalo News, and even the Arkansas Democrat Gazette — chose to feature images of her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who gave a lengthy speech last night touting his wife’s accomplishments.

Donald Trump, seeing a plane flying over his NH rally, said “That could be a Mexican plane up there. They’re getting ready to attack.”

Now that's romance. Or, someone just needs to be cheered up. Hard to tell, actually. #merry #YXY

My favourite store in Skagway had two (TWO!!) Sarah Palin branded knifes. Think about that for a second. And then check out the list of uses in the bottom left corner. #latergram #murica #joesixpack

I can't believe it's been a full year since I arrived in Whitehorse. Sometimes it feels like yesterday. And sometimes I can feel every single one if those 366 days.

This place is undeniably weird. But of all the strange things that make me laugh, the abundant and bizarre use of the word klondike is probably my favourite.

Before I moved up here, I thought Klondike just referred to a place. But what I've since learned that it's also an adjective! You might think, well, what does it mean in that context? And I'm going to be honest with you. From what I've seen, it means absolutely nothing.

One of my favourite examples is a local restaurant that serves meals with a side of 'Klondike fries'. Which, having tried them, I can confidently describe as fries. But they also come on the side of the ribs platter... which is billed as enough for a klondike-sized appetite.

Anything to capitalize off that gold rush!
