Today is a leisurely day at the falls; we slept in, plan to check out the street fair and generally enjoy the day. Got notes from Menheniots and Levesques that they doing fine in Brandon and Medicine Hat respectively. They also noted that both trucks and one trailer have been washed; we are still on vacation so neither of ours are washed yet (other than what mother nature did yesterday).
Carole: finished your book about George Carmack today - thanks.
I mentioned Bill's quiz the other day and thought for those of you that have followed this blog that you might be interested in trying the 15 easiest of the 25 questions (for the record we and the Levesques did get some of these wrong; but we had to do it closed book).
- Name the highest mountain in North America (both names if you can)
- What is its height
- Where does the Alaskan (Alcan) Hwy start and finish
- Where does the Yukon River empty
- Who wrote the cremation of Sam McGee
- What year did the Alcan hwy construction start
- What is the westernmost town (accessible by roads) in North America
- What is the most westerly town in Canada
- What is the highest point on the Alaskan Hwy
- How much food & equipment (in lbs) did the RCMP make each stampeder carry into Canada
- What is the slogan for the Yukon
- Who is accredited with first discovering gold in the Yukon
- Who founded Skagway (bonus point for its original name)
- What is the gauge of the WP&Y railway
