Day 48- Jade City

 July 29

Today was a travel day.  Since our overnight was going to be boon docking there was no rush to get going in the morning.  We did have to be packed and out by 11 though.

Everyone wanted my egg sandwiches for breakfast so I made those.  Packed and ready for the road by 11.  

Since the potholes on the Top of the World road my rear camera will not connect.  It works if I park behind the camper, but when in front the signal isn't strong enough.  Wondering if the antenna connection broke in the camera.

The other problem is I started getting a trailer wire fault.  All the lights work as they should but the trailer brakes were intermittently working.  As we traveled during the day they ended up not working at all.  I'm sure it's a loose connection somewhere so I'm researching what wires are what so I can trace it.  

We had to drive into Whitehorse to pick up our glass sculptures.  They turned out really well and the girls were excited to get them.

We then headed out of town.  We traveled down the Al-Can for few hours before turning on to the Cassier highway just before Watson Lake.  

Since we got going so late I was surprised at the number of people we saw coming from the other direction.  

Our overnight is Jade City.  It's a blink and you miss it place.  I think Wiki has it listed as less than 10 people living here.  The big draw is the Jade City Jade Store.  90% of the world Jade is mined here.  It appears that the owners of the mine also own the store.  They have artists onsite that create many of the items sold in the store, but there are items made by people world wide as well.  They had a show on Discovery called Jade Fever.

They also have a few cabins to rent.  For us, they have a lot next door where people can overnight for free.  

It works out well for us because to get here from Whitehorse was a 6.5 hour drive.  Our drive to tomorrow's overnight is roughly the same distance so this was a perfect stop for us.  When we got here at 7:30 there were 4 other campers already set-up.  I have not gone outside since so not sure if anyone else has set up or not.  

Fajita's were for dinner.  I was lazy and bought frozen veggies.  They were not as good as fresh.
