Pelly River Crossing CG, Yukon Territory CA...

The Pelly River (Ts'ekínyäk Chú) is a river in Canada, and is a headstream of the Yukon River. The Selkirk First Nation (Hucha Hudan people) name for the river is Ts'enkínyäk Chú, meaning 'water running between the mountains'.  Our stop is at a free campground maintained by the Selkirk First Nation.

Two posts ago I made mention of easier than expected road conditions.  That was then, now is different.  This 20+ mile stretch is under annual construction while the weather is warm.  Worse than traveling 30mph is encountering frost heaves at 50 mph.

No one in sight.

After 30 minutes or so the pilot car did show and we start heading north again.

It doesn't pay to get too close to the edge of the road.  Further inspection reveals this accident happened a while ago as the "do not cross" tape encircled the vehicle.

 The Selkirk First Nation (Hucha Hudan people) is a First Nation self-government in the Canadian territory, Yukon. Its original population center was the trading post of Fort Selkirk, of Yukon, along the Yukon River but most of its citizens now live in Pelly Crossing, Yukon where the Klondike Highway crosses the Pelly River.  The language originally spoken by the Selkirk people was Northern Tutchone. There is a great effort to preserve the language and culture, as can be seen by the popularity of the Selkirk "Keeper of the Songs", Jerry Alfred.
The Selkirk First Nation signed a Yuko Land Claims agreement in 1997.
