8-3-09 Canoe trip down the Yukon River




8-3-09: We decided to stay in Whitehorse 1 more day to paddle down the Yukon River. Our canoe ride was about 11 miles long and took 4 hours to complete. We were lucky to see 16 bald eagles total during our paddle; both mature and immature eagles. We stopped at a small beach for lunch and Gaby & Luke enjoyed splashing along the river's edge and looking for pretty rocks. For the takeout, we had to veer of the Yukon River and go upstream a short distance on the Tahkini River. We loaded up and headed back to camp. Everyone is having a hard time going to bed on time due to the 20 hours of daylight we are experiencing daily.
