In Teslin, Yukon, there is a museum dedicated to George Johnston (1884-1972), a man of Tlinget (native) descent. He was known for his skillful photography of local life and quirky nature.

For example, in the museum there is a restored 1928 Chevrolet that George brought to Teslin by paddlewheeler long before there were an roads. He cut a 3 mile track to drive it on and in the winter he drove it on the extensive (78 mile- long) frozen Teslin lake.

That is until he broke through the ice and barely made it to shore where it sat until summer.

Further down the road we found great scenery and camping.

We turned off the Alaska Highway onto the Cassair Highway, a scenic road highly recommended by good friends who have traveled this area.

After a spectacular sunset at our camping spot, we made our plans for our eagerly anticipated ride on the Cassair. Then the rain arrived.

And it rained.

And rained.

We camped at a beautiful Provincial Park and it rained:

We’re 3 days into it now. Weather we have ridden in before and have no desire to repeat. Not occasional showers but constant cold rain. Sigh. We finally drove to a spot with wifi ( hence the blog) and the forecast is for the rain to stop after tomorrow 🤞.

We’re trying to stay cheerful but yuk!

Will write again when I have seen the sun 🌞 🤨. If it still exists…
