Last week we had the opportunity to go up to the top of Grey Mountain on the longest day of the year and on a beautiful clear night - just think this picture was taken at roughly 11:00pm and boy is it nice and bright eh. One thing that is going to be darn hard to adjust to being back in Japan are those darn short summer days. The longest day in Japan is roughly 14.5 hours (Sunrise 4:25am / Sunset 7:00pm). Ugh, 7:00pm that is just when the fun gets started up here in Whitehorse, land of the midnight sun (over 19 hours of daylight - Sunrise 4:27am / Sunset 11:37pm). Though one thing that we'll be awesome when head out camping in Hokkaido is to finally see stars, that is the number one thing I miss when camping in the Yukon.

Here's some pics of the pass on the way to Skagway that were taken a couple weeks back; normally you don't get beautiful weather like this. Naoko and I are scheduled to hike the Chilkoot pass at the end of July (Blog with some beautiful pics of the trek), here's hoping the skies are as beautiful as they are in these pics:
