When Bob and Helen turned in their van they were hit with two unpleasant surprises. They received a ticket for going through a red light somewhere down on the lower mainland. We wouldn't have been surprised if the ticket had originated while they were following us since there were many times we'd gone through an amber and they'd followed close behind. The second shock was the Canadream refusal to pay for the tire they purchased. They claimed it was "damage incurred during the rental period". Bob and Helen had been told on the phone to "go ahead with any necessary repairs". After these disappointments we drove them into town to the Edgewater Hotel and a quick lunch in the sun at an outdoor cafe across the street. Joan and I bought a print featuring Robert Service's cabin.
We converged on Freda's condo for a second but quieter visit and returned her album. We toured a special place on the river called Miles Canyon where the walls are vertical basalt columns and the water surges through with great force. The canyon is spanned by a pedestrian suspension bridge. Blarney was fine until we reached the middle and it began to sway, then he wanted off pronto, just like Joan.
More partying! We visited Gina's cabin on Marsh Lake about 40 minutes out of Whitehorse and were happy to find David, Dory and Jessie already there. Had a great tour of both cabins and many goodies and stories.
Blarney was a slug getting up after his wild partying on the river. I've never known him to be slow to the breakfast table! We literally kicked him out of bed!
