After three days on the road, we settle in for the night at a lovely little pullout on Fox Lake, on the Klondike Highway toward Dawson City. Ten feet from the lake, water lapping at the shore. Nice!
In the morning, we ready ourselves for departure, only to discover that one of our front jacks won't retract. Uh oh, can't go down the road like that.
Next day, Bruce backtracks 40 miles to the city of Whitehorse, where he searches in vain for a technician to make a service call out there. Phone service problems throughout the Yukon, coupled with an upcoming holiday, throw a spanner in the works. He returns home with instructions on a temporary fix.
Fix works - drain the fluid from that leg, which raises the jack. Ha ha! Then we drive back to Whitehorse where we find someone to fix it. Turns out as faulty wiring in the hand control for the hydraulic jack system. Fixie fixie we hope.
Back on the road tomorrow.
Bruce

There's always something! The Camp Host Housewife
Be sure to see that Gold Dredge at Dawson. You'll see some serious environmental rearrangement which the Parks Canada folks say is revegetating nicely. You decide.
Nonetheless, it's a very interesting piece of the regional history.
