We spent our last two days in Whitehorse hiking and running around getting as many stamps for our "Gold Passports" as we could. Yukon has been putting on a gold giveaway for many years now. No... we have not won. However, it is fun to enter. We will need to visit at least ten places and get stamps or a "code" number to be entered into a 1 ounce gold drawing. We will need at least 20 stamps or numbers to enter into a 2 ounce drawing.
The "stamp hunt" does not begin until June 1st. On June 1st we stopped by the Whitehorse visitors center to pick up our three passports. We then spent the day visiting various places to get 9 stamps in Whitehorse.
It was kinda fun, but all of the places we went to other than the wildlife preserve were visited by us in past years.
We then spent our final day hiking up on the Canada Trans Trail.
On our way up to Destruction Bay we got two more stamps in Haines Junction.
The bad news is we were blanked on the bear count. So we stand at 10 bear to date. We are now tied with 2016 but will most likely not catch our 2014 count of 21 bear to this point.
We are now spending our last night in Canada before crossing back into the USA. Destruction Bay is a great stop as we love spending time with Loren and his friends. We had a few beers with Loren catching up on the local gossip. And by the way we struggled with Loren's new email address as Z "Zee" is pronounced "Zed" in Canada... Aay...
