Stewart Crossing, Yukon
We talked to a guy in Alaska that said the first freeze should happen around the 3rd week in August, that added some sort of urgency to the need to continue southward.
Now it is 90 °F at 9pm.  The heat these past two days has taken the enjoyment out of everything.  The weather the next three days is supposed to be the same, highs above 90.   I’m thinking of this as preparation for Central America.
The worst part of this story is that I was given a pound (yes, a pound) of butter in Dawson City and was looking forward to eating it in many delicious ways. Â But now it is sitting in an almost liquid, disfigured blob in my pannier. Â I may not get to eat the whole pound before it is too late…
I’m sure Kristen is weeping with you if she reads your blog
Why did someone give you a POUND of butter?! Also, you’re experiencing more 90 degree weather than we’ve had all summer in Chicago!
A pound of butter is the greatest gift you can receive. I’m so sad it did not hold up in the heat. I wish I was there to help you finish it in time!
