I called my brother Elton this morning. He had called the hospital earlier and they told him mom was sitting up in the bed with the TV on and had eaten a little breakfast. My son Allen went to the hospital today to give Elton a break and I got to talk to mom on his cell phone. She still has a hard time breathing and you can tell it when she talks. She is still in the ICU because of the pneumonia, but her heart rate and blood pressure are better today.
We drove all day to Whitehorse, Yukon. On the way we saw hundreds of rock messages on the side of the road. Jim and I saw a ferret-like animal run across the road. Jim thinks it was a mink. We took a 5 minute walk to Rancheria Falls and stopped at the Continental Divide. After we checked into Hi Country RV Park we drove to town. Beverlee, Duke, Vickie and Marv went to eat but Jim and I weren't hungry. We had a local beer at a bar in an old hotel. Then we walked around town and saw a log church and a log "skyscraper". We went to Wal Mart to get another calling card to use since our cell phones won't connect to any service. Then we looked around in Canadian Tire Company and went to the grocery store. On the way back to camp we stopped to see the world's largest weather vane at the airport. It is a DC-3 airplane perfectly balanced on a pivot and it only takes 8 mile an hour winds to rotate it.
