Rest Stop

A seamless border crossing from Alaska to the Yukon.

 

Here is a quick entertaining story about the Yukon,

Taking our regular walk along the Penticton canal here at home - we came across this homeless guy pushing a grocery cart loaded with planks of wood. As i passed i said to him "You building a house?" His reply, "I'm going to the Yukon". I don't think Monty Python could have come up with a better response. What was amazing about that response was first of all how unrealistic it was to consider walking to the Yukon towing a grocery cart filled with wood planks, but secondly and more importantly, that canal runs south to north and he was heading due south, so unless he was planning on taking the long way around i expect he won't arrive until sometime in 2045.
