       | I lived in the Yukon for 4 years - it's an incredible place for
       | anyone yearning for more adventure in their life. Snowboarding,
       | back country skiing in Alaska, hiking, hunting, paddling with
       | icebergs, snowshoeing at -40C/F, etc.

       | There were so many woolly mammoths up there it's virtually
       | impossible to go mining and not dig one up. (Mining is VERY big
       | business up there) It's not uncommon for someone to have a tusk
       | lying around in their yard.
