  1. While up in Whitehorse, I came across this abandoned structure on the top of the Whitehorse escarpment, overlooking the city below, not far from the airport. It has a rich patina of graffiti now, and is being used as a shelter, but I’m curious as to what it was originally used for.

    The most common theory seems to be that it was an old crematorium, but I’ve seen others claim online that this is false, and that it was used to burn documents by the military.

  6. @jimfl You can also do a loop: Drive to Skagway, Ferry to Haines, Drive (back towards Skagway), or in opposite direction. Best to make ferry rez.

    If you have time, I recommend visiting Hyder/Stewart in the Misty Fjord National Monument off of Cassiar Hwy. Pretty cool place.

    Dont forget to bring the Calvin and Hobbes book about the Yukon"

    Adding hashtags so others might join in with even better recommendations.

  21. Not the most exciting visit, but as I’ve driven past it regularly for nearly 9 years I thought I’d stop for a closer look. Spoiler alert: it’s better when viewed from a distance. However I did find an actually white horse who was very friendly.

    Wiltshire is famous for its chalk hill figures; there’s 8 in total. This one, on Hackpen Hill, was created in 1838 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s coronation.
