The Porsild family moves to Whitehorse

Building a highway lodge

Father knew the people were coming

A change in transportation in Whitehorse

Treasure hunting along the train tracks

Welcoming lonely soldiers into their home

Meeting with an old friend

Accepting the highway

The long drive for materials

Communities were very friendly

Ellen's parents' sense of adventure

Father was a stickler for table manners

Hard work at the lodge

Closing the lodge, opening the campground

Ellen and Phil sell the business

The new owners kept the spirit of the lodge

Staying busy and enjoying life

Father liked to sleep cold

A hilarious incident with the heating vent
