Weather Vane - Yukon Style

Yesterday we drove by this airplane outside the National Aeronautics Museum and I thought it looked neat.  Today we drove by again and it had shifted positions -- Wayne read last night that it's a weather vane!  They have it on a pivoting arm and the whole plane swings to show which direction the wind is blowing -- hence the Yukon Style Weather Vane.  They say everything is bigger in the Yukon!

We also went to see Miles Canyon that flows into the Yukon River and walked over a suspension bridge.  The water is coming from glaciers and the color is beautiful -- hard to describe.  The whole tour went there yesterday, but we left because there wasn't enough parking for everyone.  I'm glad just the two of us went back to see it today.  It was much nicer and less crowded.

We head to Dawson City in the morning.  Wayne decided to make some seafood gumbo for dinner tonight - yum!
