After a couple days in Whitehorse (one of which was unintentional, thanks to the broken finger), Choppy and I headed to Destruction Bay. Perhaps the choice of the place to stay based on name alone was not the best, considering the events preceding it; however, our night on the shores of Kluane Lake – the largest lake contained entirely within the borders of the Yukon Territory – was uneventful (happily so after the Whitehorse excitement).

The sign reads "This historic building is being restored. Parts of the structure could be unstable. Please keep away from the building." I'm pretty sure this is the point in the trip where we can all reassure ourselves that Choppy cannot read.

This is the statue at Haines Junction, where the Alaska Highway splits in two, one way toward Delta Junction, one way toward Haines. None of this has anything to do with the uber0creepiy statue where the roads meet.
This is one side of the statue at Haines Junction, where the Alaska Highway splits in two, with one road going toward Delta Junction, and the other to Haines (hence the name of the town). None of this has anything to do with this…interesting…statue at the junction. I am not sure why the artist failed to depict the back halves of any of the animals.
This? This is Kluane Lake, the largest body of water contained entirely within the Yukon Territory. Note: the waves on Kluane are typically measured in feet, and therefore the view of the lake I had was far from typical.

Note: the waves on Kluane are typically measured in feet, and therefore this view (without any waves) is not exactly typical. Sometimes, it is better to be lucky than to be good when it comes to photography.
Kluane Lake - Picture Frustration No. 1
This? This is one of the many attempts I made to get Choppy involved in a picture by the calm waters of Kluane. As you can see, I failed. Taking pictures with a dog is an art, not a science.
The frustration continued.

And continued.

Eventually I got a decent picture. Not pictured: many other attempts to get this one good picture.
Eventually I got a decent picture. Though as you can see, Choppy still needed a bit of prodding to get her head pointed in the correct direction.
