Whitehorse New Year's

Whitehorse New Year's Eve house party at home Rick and Janet, friends of Jamie and Jeanette. This was a family event with children involved.. fireworks display and lots of great food fortified with whatever you brought for refreshements!
Paul found the menfolk conversation interesting as it involved discussion related to caribou surveys, bear studies and subsequent entanglements, moose habitat, biologists and the internal politics of Yukon Natural Resources employees.
Faye was delighted in meeting new people......there was a couple belonging to First Nations and she was interested in hearing about their life here in the Yukon.
Unfortunately we didn't have our camera when we saw 3 caribou walking out of the woods situated adjacent to Robert Service Road coming out of Whitehorse. These animals were within Whitehorse city limits!!

New Year's Day dinner put together by Paul & Faye as we felt Jamie should have a well earned respite from cooking. The whole gang was here including Jamie's dad, mother Lynn, Grant and neighbors down the road. Dinner consisted of glazed ham, baked beans, Lynn's perogies, scalloped potatoes, carrots, turnip, asparagus, and Faye's blueberry grunt with ice cream for desert.

Today, January 2nd is a balmy -41 degrees C.!! Paul was concerned about antifreeze in truck but it checked out ok.

Later.....
