Heading South

So, let me catch you up with were we are.

When I left you at the last Blog we were in Haines Junction, Yukon.

Our short goal was Whitehorse, Yukon. We/I choose to stay at Pioneer for 2 nights, giving us 30 amps, water and sewer. By doing this, I was allowed to check and see why our Dryer was not working. You see it stopped working. I was reluctant to work on it where we were, because of what I might find. Susan, finally got me to check on it. My worst fear came true.

First, let me explain, we do have a Washer/Dryer combo, however in 2016 we located a dryer unit. 1 unit for wash and the other for drying.

Ok, back to my worst fear, once we slid it out, sure enough, the power cord came unplug. What, you say, a simple fix. Not really, as now I would have to pull out the washer just to get to the power strip. Option 1, extension cord until we get back to Az. Solved and Fixed for now.

Alright , 2 days in Whitehorse and then onto Watson Lake, for refueling and then head south on the Cassiar Hwy, Hwy 37.

One of my faults? Me have faults? Yes, 1 in particular. You I like to hunt out, ghost towns, houses, building and the such. found such a place. Junction of Alcan and Cassiar Hwy, place called J 37 Rv park.

I found this place, just by looking and watching what went on. So, this turned out to be a good place to dry camp. A day, a week or even a month. In fact, you could even find a spot in the Rv park, just behind a building.

But, what secrets were hidden in this area, yes what secrets, lies hidden in this area.

You see J 37 Rv parks not only have rv spaces, but 3 facilities that had at least 60 bedrooms. Why, what became of this place, who were the owners. What secrets laid hidden among the forest, Oh, I forgot, the land? Yes what about the land. Well, the best I can ascertained it belong to one of the First Nation Tribe. Specifically the one in Watson Lake.

So, just what did I find that made me wonder what happen?

Question, who owned the land, where not 1 but 3 homes were iin process of being build. What about the Log Cabin being build, using the Large Saw mill just left behind.

Or the other buildings, with roofs caved in, or the storage building coming down. What happen here, even the new house that was being build and could be lived in? The photos above were just a few of the items I found.

Think about this, what about the J 37 Rv park. What's it's story. Why was it build with so many rooms.
