World's largest weathervane - a DC-3. According to Yukon pilot and aviation historian Bob Cameron, the vintage plane was originally a C-47 that was built in 1942 and few transport missions to Asia during the war. Converted to civilian life as a DC-3 after the war, she flew for Canadian Pacific Airlines, Connelly-Dawson Airways, Great Northern Airways and Northward Airlines from 1946 until 1970, when she blew an engine on takeoff and was then stripped for parts and parked at the Whitehorse airport.
A wonderful stop on the drive up to the Five Fingers area on the Klondike Loop road that goes to Dawson City and across the Top of the World Highway.
Sitting on the patio after having our wonderful cinnamon bun.
Mom herself, Tracie Harris, has lived in the Yukon her entire life (80) she said. She is also a gold miner with three claims. She has a foreman that handles everything until it's time to dump the gold. A very interesting lady. We stayed her for over an hour jus talking and enjoying the morning. The house sits above a creek that she regularly catches her breakfast/lunch.
