Day 16: Whitehorse, YT to Tanzilla Creek CG

Before we left Whitehorse, we had some business to attend to! We first had to fill up our gas tanks, and then visit the Yukon Transportation Museum. Here is an example of what we saw there--a road making "tundramobile". The guys were willing to trade their beloved motorcycles in for this beauty.
Our bikes were filthy from the Dempster. Next stop, the Blueberry Carwash. Porkchop's bike emerged a swan. He definitely won the competition for the cleanest bike. It must have been his artful application of the spot-free rinse.
The weather was wonderful on this day. We turned south on the Cassair Highway 37 and enjoyed some amazing views on this roller-coaster of a road.
This road is a lot of fun, but you really have to pay attention. This truck rolled off the road and had just been righted with the help of two large tow trucks when we arrived on the scene after a 9 hour nightmare for the tow truck drivers.
At the close of this most beautiful, scenic drive, we arrived at Tanzilla Creek CG, our home for the night. Distance: 669K Weather: Perfect! Scenery: Mind-blowing!
