June 5 & 6
We drove to Teslin Yukon Territory and stayed 2 days staying at a free camp on the lake. Beautiful scenery. Every turn of the road is prettier. We ate at Mukluk Annie's and had baked salmon & ribs. Delicious...They also offered a boat ride at 8 on the lake. There are a lot of things we did not get pictures of are; fox, coyotes, birds, etc. Another difference in the country are golf courses in every town and hamlet. Found out because of the long summer daylight people can play golf, baseball, etc at midnight.
Visited the Tlingit cultural center (Clingit) and learned how the WHITE MAN screwed the natives of the Yukon. There are only 600 Clingit in Yukon. With the whit man came the diseases that killed most of them.
Also Visited George Johnson museum, a Cligit who brought the first car in 1928 Chevy when there were not roads in Teslin. But when the lake froze he could go 83 miles. A lot of history and artifacts which gave me a picture of the society.
