Hey ho, Yukon!

Two weeks minus a day till my Homeroutes tour in the Yukon kicks off, starting with Whitehorse and taking me as far north as Dawson City and Old Crow. Hey now, what better time for my first trek to the Yukon than in the dead of winter! :) I’m stocked up on long johns and a pair of amazing -40c felt pack boots and I can’t wait!
