Escape the Ordinary: The Yukon

In September, 2015, Stan Havlick and his wife, Margaret, ventured into the heart of the Yukon of Northern Canada. This large and pristine territory of over 186,000 square miles has a population of only 37,000 people of which 27,000 live in Whitehorse, the capitol of the Yukon. Whitehorse is also named the Wilderness City and is the home of the 1,000 mile International Sled Dog Race. Photos and topics discussed will include the magnificent Tombstone Mountain Range, Dawson City with its rich and colorful gold mining history, the tragic "Lost Patrol" of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Vuntut Gwitchin Tribal Village of Old Crow, and the beauty of the Saint Elias Mountains and Kluane National Park. Last, but not least, you will enjoy viewing the wildlife of the Arctic, the semiannual migration of the 100,000 plus caribou, and the importance of the local hunt by the natives for their sustainability in this remote region of Northern Canada. We hope you are able to join us for this extraordinary evening.

Stan, who has lived or traveled on all seven continents, will also devote a portion of his program to answering your questions about the wonderful world of travel.
