Carmacks?


Went on an interesting little road trip on Sunday. We stopped at the Braeburn 'cinnamon buns as big as your head' world-famous pit stop and indeed, those 'buns are as big as your head and pretty much as expensive. $9/each! Good but a bit on the stale side. Oh well...

We ended up in Carmacks, which seems like a pretty little nowhereseville town. A very brand-new school, some ancient offices painted a light '70's green, a house. I think there are 2 restaurants (a record for a 'community'!!) and a building euphemistically referred to as a hotel. All right on the river, cute.

It seems pretty far from Whitehorse, about 2.5hrs but the road is very good, only one tire-losing monster pothole to worry about. We also saw a very cute fox on the way. Hello Mr. Renard!

To sum up; Braeburn is kind of far for cinnamon buns...they are huge..but expensive..kind of stale..oh well! It was a gorgeous day for a road trip.
