We performed our first gig of the tour today at the Atlin Arts and Music Festival, a multi-disciplinary festival that presents music, dance, art, storytelling, poetry and film in the northern most town in British Columbia. Our venue, Kershaws, was an old hardware store converted into a coffee shop. It had a view out the windows behind the stage of the Swiss Alps looking mountains along Atlin lake.
Our performance included dance demos, original tango compositions and a jam/workshop for musicians.
To get to the festival we had to drive into the Yukon and down into British Columbia on a road that was partially gravel. We are fitting in now with all the Yukon plate cars.
Previous to the festival, we camped four nights in a row–once in Alberta, twice in B.C. and last night in the Yukon. The bugs and rain were suprisingly minimal.
Our best find so far was the Liard River Hot Springs, one of the most amazing that we have ever seen. It is a double fed pool; hot and cold spring water simultaneously feed in from the bottom making for a perfect bath.

Looks like fun!
Are you going to go the whole trip and not wash the car?
