the wild wild north

BEAVERS! WHAM. in the face.

guess who i saw my first night in whitehorse. (i was there only for one night, but don’t tell anyone that) we were walking back from a dinner, i think its about 11pm. and some people were taking pictures of what we thought was grass. well it turns out it was frank, the beaver in the bush!

say hi.

so, here is the actual reason we were on a walk at 11pm in whitehorse with the sun still up. to see an old paddle boat which would ferry gold miners up and down the yukon river.
