Back to Civilization (Sort of)

(August 3)

Dear Folks 

We are safely back in Whitehorse.  It was hard to leave Tombstone: we would happily return.  We send along a few more photos from the park–including one of Miracle at our campsite.  

There is a LOT of road construction.  One photo is our surroundings as we wait for the pilot car.  

And as we got near Whitehorse, there were wonderful views of lakes. 

We close with a little story from last night.  The park offers educational talks in the evenings and guided hikes during the day.  Last night’s talk was on bear myths and facts.  It was supposed to be in the amphitheater.  We asked if that was accessible.  The answer was, we think so.

When we went to attend the talk, they had moved it into the kitchen shelter, since it had rained.  That shelter is not accessible.  People at the talk offered to help us get in.  We thanked them but explained that Karma is too heavy.  We didn’t want anyone (including Karma) to get hurt.   We don’t think that we could have gotten to the amphitheater, either..  

Olivia was the one giving the talk and apologized profusely.  We said that we hoped that they would work on these issues.  We had given her a BEYOND LIMITS  card.  She said that she would be in touch.  We hope so.  We would be happy to give advice.
