 Mosquito by Paul2001
Well at the airport in Whitehorse I saw a t-shirt with the image of a giant mosquito attacking a person. Underneath was the caption "Come to the Yukon and Give Blood!" That says it all. Leave a Comment

 Very, Very Sad That Some
People Are So Careless by mcpangie
If you are driving through this wonderful area where wildlife is still plentiful enough that it will show up alongside the road as you pass by, please remember to give the animals the right of way. Drive safely for the conditions.
If you are in that much of a hurry that you can't drive safely, there are numerous airports that are more than willing to fly you where you want to go in a few short hours! Leave a Comment

 Yukon/Alaska Highway Sign by Stephen-KarenConn
However, I thought it ironic that not far from this very spot I saw an automobile which had skidded off the highway and overturned. The driver had lost control while going downhill around a curve on an unpaved section of road. Even at 55 mph one could easily flip over under those conditions. Fortunately he was buckeled up. Regardless of the speed limit, use common sense. Leave a Comment

No sooner had we crossed into the Yukon (and hadn't made it to customs yet) that there was road construction. Well, it was called road construction but it was really "We'll tear up the road and leave it to work on something else." The pavement was missing or if they had repaved the road, it was in the "drop it here and don't smooth it out" fashion. Where there was no warning about construction, sometimes it was still really bad. It was actually to the point where it made Bobby sick. I would say that this is because of the permafrost and the conditions the roads and workers each face but it can't be that. The stretch from Haines Junction to Whitehorse is in wonderful shape and doesn't look like it has been recently worked on. As soon as you get into Alaska on the same road in the same climate, it's obvious there was or is construction but it's not nearly as bad. Around Kluane Lake, at this point, you need an escort because they're working on that section for a long stretch and it's rough...but you're never waiting long, so that's a plus. Good information can be found at the link below. Leave a Comment

 commodities at a Highway
parking by tompt
Most outhouses have a rock in front of the door. This rock is placed in front of the door when it is not used, to prevent critters to get in and wreck the place.
All garbage containers are bearprove. This means it is difficult to open for people, but impossible to open for bears...... Leave a Comment

Be aware that you entered the land of grizzlies and other wild animals freely roaming their territories. We are the intruders here and when you drive across the land always remember that the road is not only for the cars here. We were fortunate and lucky to spot a beautiful black bear crossing the road in front of us. We were as curious as the bear running from us but stopping and observing us...

 A grizzly bear near the
roadside by tompt
What to do:
- Don't surprise bears.
Make noise, travel in groups not alone.
- Don't crowd a bear.
Never approach a bear to make a closeup pictures, but use a zoomlens.
- Don't attract a bear.
Bear can be attracted by food at your campsite, but also by garbage or smelly stuff like cosmetics or toothpaste. Move all these things far from your campsite, and not in your tent.
Read more about bear safety at the website of the Yukon government mentioned below. Leave a Comment
