No, but they can PM me if they are, and we'll see if we can help out. I've got an old pick-up, a few tools and some beer.
I'd guess they just took a day trip side tour, and went to check out Kluane Nat Park.

Gordon, David, and Dennis, are stuck in Takhini Hotsprings. We've added two to our group for the past two days. One is in a Toyota land cruiser from Switzterland. The other on a 800GS. The guys have done some fishing while I had a run out to Haines Junction. Today I have to see about a front tire. I wrecked it by running low pressure and the tread is whooped. We had the valve cover off the GS last night in an attempt to solve an oil leak. That is 'G'erman 'S'tuff. My KLR is burning oil again. The KTM is maintenance free. We all do chains. No plans on moving north just yet. The weather is unstable, and we are comfortable where we are.

I live down in Riverdale, let me know if I can help. My house is full of out of towners here for the River Quest, but anything I can do, let me know.

Looks like they are in the campground across the river from Dawson. Looks like the issues here in Whitehorse were overcome.

Seeing as you asked :TTT:
I left the Kootenays the first week in June. A1 started with me but we ran into the worst weather in 40 years at the Albt border. Snow, Hail, Rain, Cold.
We stayed the night in Longview and A1 had to turn back because of his back.
That was a good thing cause the road I took to get out of Alberta was not friendly.
I had originally planed to take #40 from Coleman to Grand Prairie but the road was closed at Coleman. I was able to make it to Hinton on #40 from Cochrane.
The road was still closed but no gates. Couldn't use the Highway as it was covered with ice and snow. Took 5 days to get to PG.
I get to Prince George and phone Dr Bike. He is in the Hospital all busted up not going anywhere any time soon.
So it's on to Yellow Knife. The wind off the Lake just about blew me off the road.
Down the Liard Trail to find a key gas station closed. Had to go into Fort Simpson to get gas. Big Pow Wow in Fort Simpson so I left to take my chances on the Road.
So it's dark and raining and Iam riding in a Buffalo Herd. That was different.
A small herd of calves and yearlings ran in the lights with the cows and bulls trying to catch up and me in the middle. The yearling finally broke out of the lights and a good thing too as the rest of the herd were getting to close.
The Dempster was good most of the way but got dicey at the end I made it back to Klondike lodge and had to tear my bike down. The plug had shook loose and it was not running that good. When I changed the plug it was "White".
Up to Dawson and over to Chicken by way of the Top of the World Road.
Best ride of the whole trip.
Crossed over to Valdeze , another awesome ride, had to camp by a Glacier cause I couldn't see the road in the Pass. The heavy fog from the Ocean rolled in and I just couldn't see the road.
I went to Valdeze in order to follow the Pipe Line north.
Took on a tire in Fairbanks before the Dalton. The Fairbanks Fun Center took 11/2 hours to change the tire. Don't by a Tire there.
The Dalton was a fast road and a good thing. When I got to Deadhorse I could see hudge Black clouds forming over the Artic Ocean. I didn't want to get caught in Deadhorse so I gased up and headed back to Cold foot. The storm finally caught me at Tok and followed me pretty much all the way to Deese Lake.
I rode the whole trip by running late and camping about 2/3 in the morning. That way you get up and hit the road about 10am. It was to cold any eirlier.
When I got home I went back into Alberta to finish the #40 route and you guessed it.
I ran into Snow in the Highwood Pass.
Anyway, I logged 14,000 K and used 3 tires and the usual oil changes.
I weighted out at around 900 lbs and my KLR only needed some serious maintance after the Dempster beat it up.
Although the road from Cochrane eat my battery and I had to use my jumper cables in Nordeg.
There is a lot more to this story but this is the short version .
Would I do it again "Maybe".
