I took a couple of pictures of these great fires in the distance. We didn't realize another fire was burning up ahead to the northeast. Thursday June 24th - Many got trapped in Chicken. We flew out of Northway. Here was the travel restriction posting on the internet for that day. Friday June 25th - You could see and smell the smoke in Dawson. No AC! Saturday June 26th - Still overcast due to the smoke and it's still hot. Sunday June 27th - 2nd day in Whitehorse. The 3rd room with only a fan! Monday June 28th - Finally as we head toward Skagway... We finally feel like we're leaving the smoke and heat behind. First row below are photos from the Yukon Territory firefighter website. |
