Argonaut

Here I am with my Folbot Yukon, a foldable kayak, near the Yukon Territory border in British Columbia.  The Klondike Highway runs along this lake connecting Skagway, Alaska to Whitehorse and continues to Dawson City, Yukon.

A Hearty Welcome to My One Reader

So, what's with the name, right?  I suppose the credit goes to my niece and/or nephew, who coined the term when they had to spend some time on the stairwell in their home for naughty behavior.  This stairwell is a unique one and kind of resembles a "Z" but with two exit points.  When they were punished they had to sit in a dark portion of the stairwell and contemplate their actions.  Obviously, the kids don't like to be sent to timeout, but to have a "dark timeout" is even worse.  Thought the name was funny.  Somewhat sinister, but funny nonetheless.
