To All: I'm still in Whitehorse.
Today was day of rest. Not much else to take up time. I walked through the downtown area and had a ubibquitous "Starbucks" coffee. I couldn't find a local newspaper. I'm sure they must have one. The tourist stores are all closed. I guess everyone has figured out that there are no tourists here at all. Whitehorse is by far the largest city - about 26,000 compared to the other "villes" that are just several thousand such as Dawson, or less.
Speaking of newspapers, Until yesterday, I did not see a newspaper or TV news program. When I viewed last night's and this morning's news shows, it was like I was in a time warp. The same old arguments and bullshit from the commentators - nothing's changed. I will not watch such crap with the same ferver again.
I'll go to the airport at 1:00pm to catch a 3:00pm flight. The hotel clerk says it will work fine, but I think I'm cutting it close.
I still can't get the spirit of this snowmobile race out of my blood. It was such an adventure - and a tough one for all participants. I really need to think about this and how the thrill can be duplicated.
Just for the record, the dog race - the Iditorad race from Fairbanks to Anchorage (or is it the opposite direction) began today.
Well - that's it unless I get stuck here. By this time tomorrow, I'll be on a flight from Vancouver to San Fran. or better yet to Atlanta.
It'll be great to get back and be with my family of wife, dogs and cat.
Tom
