Greetings from Whitehorse

This post is entered by Melissa Satterwhite, Dorothy's daughter.

For those of you tracking Dorothy's trip, I got a call from my mother this evening. She has arrived safely in Whitehorse, territorial capital of the Yukon, and is staying with Katharine and Marcus Sandiford. Marcus is a biologist, and Katherine is the Communications Director for the Northern Climate Exchange (http://www.taiga.net/nce/). NCE is an independent source of information about climate change in Northern Canada.

Dorothy said the weather in Whitehorse is nearly perfect and the people very friendly. It's a beautiful area (and believe me, if my mom says it's beautiful, it is!). She is going to seek out a high speed connection in the next couple of days to provide more detail. In the meantime, I took a few notes and will try to convey as accurately as possible.

Dorothy has done four interviews (so far) in Whitehorse. The first, Monday, was with Matthew Little at the Whitehorse Star (http://whitehorsestar.com). Today's interviews were with Gennesee Keevil at the Yukon News (http://www.yukon-news.com), then off to do a radio interview with Sam Singh, and finally an interview with Al Foster at CBC Whitehorse. The CBC interview is going to be broacast nationally tomorrow. I don't have a URL for the interview, but you can check on the CBC site: www.cbc.ca.
