A funny thing happened on my way to help BlogHer pull off its exclusive interview in Oregon with Sen. Barack Obama -- my plane from Newark arrived in Salt Lake City too late for me to make the connecting flight. As a result, I got to spend the night in a place that was completely new for me. And when I visit a new place, I love to look at the local newspaper to supplement the impressions that I'm getting from the sights and sounds around me.

A few weeks ago I kicked off our cross-Canada blog tour with B.C. blogs. This week I'm heading north to the Yukon. Now, as you may or may not know, in addition to ten provinces Canada also has three territories (if you thought there was only two, you were right until 1999 - I'll get to that in another post). For a primer on the Yukon territory check out Wikipedia or the Government of Yukon website. You can find such interesting tidbits of information such as the fact that while Yukon is the smallest of the three Canadian territories it's still larger than California! But who wants stats when there are Yukon bloggers to explore?
