Yukoner's Appreciation Day - remember that Kristin?? When I went with you we hung with my "old" friends (aged 80 to 92). If you came with me today you would have hung with my little friends (aged just under 2). I thought it was going rain but instead was just overcast with a bit of a strong wind at times.
As you can see, the clouds threatened rain but held off. It was actually great weather for walking.
Daddy was handy for raising the kids to a level above the crowds. This is where they were releasing a young bald eagle that they nursed back to health. The release was anticlimactic. They opened the cage in the bison pen. The eagle, instead of soaring to great heights, hopped onto the ground then hopped around for a long long time. Like Emerson said, "all done" then he turned and left. He was much more interested in collecting the rocks on the road and trail than viewing any animals.
We walked with the kids for quite a while but the going was s - l - o - w . We finally coaxed them into the stroller and headed back to the main area for hot dogs.
Brooke was volunteering at the check in so we hot-dogged with her. She said that about 800 Yukon's took advantage of the free day. We Yukon's love free things!
