I’m just wondering if anyone else on this site is planning to paddle the Yukon River this summer. As you might remember, Kathleen and I have a rescue Siberian husky, who still suffers from separation anxiety. A friend of ours was planning to come stay at our very rural property in Saskatchewan to look after him while we were away.
Unfortunately, she was recently diagnosed with a tumour, and will not be coming. We have not been able to find anyone else, and have revised our plans. We now plan to take him (Shadow) with us car camping for the five-day drive to Whitehorse, where we plan to arrive on Saturday, June 22. We will leave our gear and canoe in Whitehorse with Canotrouge, while we drive our van to Dawson City on Sunday, June 23. We have arranged to put a Shadow in a kennel just north of Whitehorse. We have B & B accommodation in Dawson City for Sunday, June 23. We have reservations on the Husky Bus to take us back to Whitehorse on Monday, June 24. We will put on the river on Tuesday, June 25, planning to reach Dawson 15 days later.
Any chance we’ll see any of you on the river?
