We will put the weld to the test over the next couple of months but it seems pretty strong and we are happy campers.<br /><br />It is always a little harder shopping the sales in a different town because you don't always know what is on sale at each place but if we want something and it is too much at one store then we will just pop over to the others and see if it is cheaper. The stores are all close together so we don't have far to walk and we have the time. It is nice to have the points card, it sure helps lower the grocery bill. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58464367328539737592018-06-13T10:29:10.934-04:002018-06-13T10:29:10.934-04:00Thanks, we are enjoying our visit here in Whitehor...Thanks, we are enjoying our visit here in Whitehorse. We like the innovative way they built the new part of the museum around the old telegraph office as well.<br /><br />It wasn't really an inconvenience, it fit into our schedule fairly nicely and we are glad that we finally got it done after all this time. :-) Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-48684314856097559742018-06-13T10:26:20.540-04:002018-06-13T10:26:20.540-04:00We were very happy with the price of the welding j...We were very happy with the price of the welding job and happy with the results of it as well. It seems like they do lots of work on trailers, not travel trailers so much but on flat bed trailers, probably taking equipment up to work sites on all the dirt roads. Surprisingly enough the main road is in half decent shape for the most part.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-37471626231612686402018-06-13T10:22:53.145-04:002018-06-13T10:22:53.145-04:00Luckily we haven't had as much rain as you had...Luckily we haven't had as much rain as you had but since arriving in Whitehorse it has been overcast and rainy so it was nice to see some sunshine on this day and yesterday was even nicer. I read that July is normally the wettest month of the year so there may be rain in store for us too.<br /><br />It is going to take us time before we get to Dawson City, there are still things to see here in Whitehorse and then lots of stuff on the way up. The Top of the World Highway won't be until we return from Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk providing the road will be open for us and in decent shape. And then of course the Top of the World Highway will need to be in good shape as well, our fingers are crossed.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-85084502084984251502018-06-13T10:15:30.883-04:002018-06-13T10:15:30.883-04:00We love the way they did that as well.

He doesn't have many squeaks now and it will make driving the Dempster Highway much more comfortable for Kevin.<br /><br />We haven't been to the Whitehorse Airport before so we don't know if there is a stuffed bear there or not. We will be near it today maybe we will go and see.

Preventive maintenance pays off .

You are getting me inspired to do it again, not so sure about Fran :) Looking forward to your visit to Dawson City and Top of the World, we missed both due to flooding.
