On the road again Sunday July 27
To the Beringia Interpretive Centre to learn about Mammoths and giant beaver.
Giant Beaver was the largest rodent known. Length 8 ft and weighed 480 pounds.
But more interesting was learning about the mass of land (green area) joining the lands we know as Alaska and Russia. We watched a very informative video about the Era.
Giant Short Faced Bear
Wooly mammoth
Again spectacular drive from Whitehorse.
Breathtaking beautiful Emerald Lake
I'm disappointed that my photos didn't capture the real beauty.
Can you see our rv.
We were completing a walking tour of the town of Carcross when we came to St John the Baptist Catholic Church.
We had the honor of visiting with Bishop Gary Gordon. He is currently the Bishop of the Whitehorse, YK diocese. August 1 he will become the Bishop of Victoria, B. C. He was so talkative and friendly. He asked us to pray for a new Bishop to be appointed soon for Whitehorse.

Bennett Lake
Spectacular scenery continues
Guess elevation is high. We're up near the clouds.
This land is described as "moonscape" because of the barrenness.
We stayed overnight at a rest area high in the mountains.
Again spectacular. Neat to see the cloud wrap around the mountains.
