Day 51; June 17 - Watson Lake to Whitehorse

We were on the road by 8:36am PT.  Driver must have been in a hurry for this 283 mile stretch.  The drive was was nice and calm.  We only saw one black bear and a few birds.  Wild life was scarce.  The road overall was ok.  I have made the comment that if people think this road is bad, they should drive Interstate 70 from KC to Columbia.  Ugh!

 This is Camper Lot 71 in the Pioneer RV Campground in Whitehorse, YT.  Line them up, and take their money.

 This is the good ship "Klonedike".

 Wal-Mart.  There were between 25-35 campers lined up around the outside edges.  Gary would like to do this, but GrMa needs electricity and TV and internet and the finer things in life.

 For some reason, my pictures loaded in backwards order.  This is heading down the hill towards Whitehorse.

 This section of roads was along a lot of lakes.

 Driver tells me that this is the longest bridge along the Alaskan Highway.

 We did drive a few miles of newly laid chipped rock. Wasn't too bad.

 We were looking for this cabin.  We were ready to stop in for breakfast; but must have hidden it behind trees.


We are fine.  Made reservations for three nights.  Going down to Skagway, Alaska, tomorrow.  That must mean we are getting closer to the state.  If I paid attention to the travel agent, I think he said we would divide the next stretch into two days of driving to Anchorage.  We will find a place to park and wait for my friends.  We will try to scout the area and give them some ideas on what we can do.  Probably the best thing would be to let them look at all the travel fliers they put in every store.
