Yukon Adventure

Saying goodbye to the Yukon and my sweet Vinka. I will come back.

We drove out and followed the rustic mining road for hours until it ended.

Beautiful property of our friend Annie in Atlin, BC

A very chatty Magpie sat down next to me

Saw very fresh bear tracks on our walk. He was most likely still near us digging for tasty roots.

Sassy cooling off in the lake.

Went to a lecture on wolves the other day. Peter, our guide, is from England and has been living in the Yukon for the past decade studying wolves. He lead us to a wolf den (unused) and talked about a wolf‘s cycle. It was ended by us howling as a group. To our astonishment we even got a response. It was (only) a pack of Coyotes, most likely, but still fascinating. Yukon Environment offers these great tour that anyone can join for free. Through these tours we have learned all about frogs, shorebirds, raptors, goats and wolves. On the way to becoming a wildlife expert 🙂

The Yukon River running through Whitehorse.

Time to sheer our Alpacas and Llama. The Alpacas were bound to a sheering table. Sheering Raven was an ‚adventure‘. She could not be tied down so we did it while she was standing up. We can only go as far as the queen would allow us. Belly and ticklish legs were a no-go. Everything else somewhat acceptable.

The squad

What do you guys think of this heat?

How else are you gonna dress if you’re about to saw through a frozen chunk of meat? Preparing sled dog food.
