Day Four - Every day an adventure
Today was a short day with more than the acceptable amount of drama. We ran out of gas about 12 miles from town. Seems the economy and the fact that it's Sunday contributed to our plight. One of the two gas stations where I had planned to stop was closed - as in boarded up - and the other one was closed as well, but it looked like it was still in business - just not today. UGH!! We nursed what fuel we had left until one by one we ran out. We were close to town though and people up here know that once in a while someone might need a favor - and next time it might be them that needs the favor, so we were able to get enough gas to get to town. Even though it was an early arrival, we were tired, guess that's what the road does to you after while. Hopefully we'll be well rested in the morning - Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory is a long ways from here.
