We lunched at Whiskey Jack’s<\/a> and met Dave, a local retired US Air Force who moved to Yukon decades ago.<\/p>\n

Captain Ken<\/a> took us out on his boat for a 3-hour tour of the Yukon river. We saw bald eagle, beaver, beaver dams and other sights.<\/p>\n

Next day, we hiked Fish Lake<\/a>, which is a long drive on dirt roads out of town. We would not have found it except for the detailed directions from the visitor center.<\/p>\n
