Washed clothes, took showers, uploaded photos to Facebook (hardly sounds like camping).
Tried to dry out our wet tent. Forgot to bring the tent stakes for the tent fly.
Cottonwood Creek Campground at Kluane Lake.
A view of the putt-putt course and mountains.
This is supposed to have the highest concentration of grizzly bears in North Amerca (how John McCain says America). We haven't seen any bears though. : (
Oatmeal and Coffee for breakfast. Was down around freezing again last night.
Made it to Haines Junction. Pretty scenic area. Green rolling hills surrounded by jagged mountains. Expensive gas.
Had to climb a rock bank, run across the bridge in
time for this shot. I need a remote.
Stopped next to a creek we thought had water falls.
Had an old and cool log bridge stretching over the wide creek.
Ran into a older gentleman from South LA. That would be Louisiana.
He had ridden solo throughout Texas, Calif., onto the Yukon with the notion to go as far as Alaska. He talked to us for about 30 min. of his world travels. Very interesting man, but must have been lonely, he had a lot to say and was hesitant to let us go.
The first time on the trip we saw buffalo, I was elated!
Anne preferred her view from the Jeep.
Saw wild buffalo next to a pond. Cecil scared them away while taking photos.
Stopped at the Real Canadian Superstore. Got some groceries (Whitehorse). Drove throughout Whitehorse. Very smokey. Appeared to be a really nice town if we could have seen it better. Now we will head out of town toward Watson Lake.
Pitstop at Wolf Creek Campground for Peanut Butter rolls with honey. Checking the map for a possible route away from smoke. Next stop will be Teslin Lake. It is 162 km away. Still not sure how many miles that is... maybe 115 miles?
Teslin Lake. Fires very close by.
We stopped by Rancheria Falls. Mosquito infested water hole.
Well groomed path with long board walk that leads to the falls.
Probably would stop at Rancheria again.
The mosquitos were miserable, and falls small.
We've gone in and out between BC and YT about 7 times now.
The road weaves around the border like stitching.
The smoke finally cleared about 75 miles ago. It's been gorgeous!
Watson Lake gas. Signpost forests is a fun place to look around and take a break.
The white and orange Georgia sign.
We saw two license plates from Towns County, Georgia. (Where Cecil is from, and where we are going.) Not sure if one of them is ours (Cecil's family) from our trip up in '98.
Slept at Allen Lookout. Good spot to stop. Had beef and rice ramen noodles.
