Then we passed the Knotty Shop--of course we stopped and looked. Bob especially liked this breed of mosquito--it didn't bite!
We had a leisurely ride looking for geocaches. Most of the rest areas had one hidden. Next stop--Rika's Roadhouse. It was a stopover for travelers who crossed the river by ferry.
In the woods near the house, we saw this truck left behind by its owner.
We made the turn onto the Alaskan Highway at Delta Junction. At the end of the day we could say we had traveled the entire highway!
Bob and I were wary of the mosquitoes at Delta Junction.
We stopped in Tok---once again behind the Chevron station. The plan was to go to Chicken in the car the following day. We started toward Chicken, but Taylor Highway was so bad we turned back after about 20 miles. We knew that the road from Tok to Destruction Bay was bad so we didn't want to travel bad roads two days in a row. We returned to the rv, hooked the car and took off--time to head for the border!The border crossing was easy, answered a few questions and off we went. We drove to Pine Creek just east of Haynes Junction. Pine Creek was a government campground in Yukon Territory.
We spent the night then headed for Carcross, Yukon campground. As we drove to Carcross, we passed this old ranch located at a rest area.
From Carcross we drove to Skagway, Alaska--cruise ship capital of Alaska. It was definitely a tourist town!From Carcross we made a beeline to Watson Lake to check on Cassiar Highway. It had been closed due to wildfires, but vehicles were being convoyed through several times a day if wind and fire permitted. We were lucky enough to get in line for a convoy and only had to wait 30 minutes to make the trip!
Not far from the end point of our convoy was Doya Lake Provincial Park, BC. We spent the night there at a lake front site.
