Adam hiking up Gloria's Mountain.
We had a ride with Pete and Mary in their boat across Lake Laberge

Taking a break on the way up.  It was a bit steep in sections but coming down we took the gully and used the trees!

At the top of the hike we had some great views back at where we had come from.  We had lunch at the top.

Mary and Rumba at the top and looking out to the Yukon River.  The big bend is called Steamboat slough.

Adam signed up for a bit of yard work and the first thing on the list was to twin our Organic cooler.  He dug a big hole and buried a metal garbage can.

The ground in this spot has a small patch of permafrost and therefore anything in the can is nicely chilled down.  We use it in the winter too as the temperature is quite stable.

Mary on the Flat Mtn. trail during a hike in the rain.  The trail goes for 7kms and reaches the alpine.

Adam looking back towards Lake Laberge.  On another day we could take this trail all the way to the top of Flat Mtn. but this day it was too cloudy.

Lara at one of the snack stops before getting to the alpine, unfortunately we didn't get any snaps where we turned around, next time.

Adam on Fox Lake just north of our place.  We left on a quest for grayling, or at the very least pike.

Unfortunately the only pike we could get were the common headless variety... this is Bob and Suzie (a bit smaller = Adam's fish) is in the bucket.

Looking north on the lake - usually a very windy spot.  We had a blue sky day and a light wind.  No UFO sightings though?  Often they can be seen here.

DH a bit happier after the disaster of the filet knife - an hour before.  It now lies at the bottom of ever clear Fox lake.

We headed to Kluane National Park for an overnight in Haines Junction.  Adam need time to contemplate in the mountians...

We also 'scoped out some mountian goats, tiny white dots on the mountian side some 6kms distant - still quite fun to see.

Our friend, Katrina from Haines Junction came along on our hike of Kings Throne - a scramble up a rock glacier

DH with Kathleen lake in the background about half way up the hike.

Looking back down the "trail" and to another group of hikers (happened to be our whitehorse neighbour Petra taking some tourists out)

Lara (aka Tosey) happy to be at the top and also being photographed

Adam, exhausted after setting a fast pace to the top, needed to cool down quickly - snow fight anyone?

The only true way to descend a rock mountain is to talus surf your way down (much better on the knees)

...and quite spectacular too if you have time to look up.

... but a bit hard on the city dude footwear.

Looking back at King's Throne after returning to the lake and the Blazer.

And her she is, the Blazer making it one more time over the Haines Summit in somewhat clear skies.

Our 'diamond in the rough' eating spot in Haines.  South of the Boarder mexican restaurant.

This is why we drove 400 kms - the FISH.  Pink salmon, this one a male in the middle of it's spawning cycle (called a humpy).  Adam having a heck of a time with this guy.

Set up at the market on the first day of September

A possible blue sky day interrupted by clouds

DH and Graham doing the clown-thing...
