Today was another travel day.
We got up and left Haines, Alaska, and headed towards Tok, Alaska. We had to drive north about 40 miles and cross into British Columbia, through Canadian customs, etc.
About 45 miles later we crossed into the Yukon. A few miles up the road we stopped at the Million Dollar Falls Provincial Park for a stretch and to see the Million Dollar Falls.
About 10 minutes after leaving this park we stopped to watch this Black Bear along the road.
There was about a 1/2 hour wait clearing customs back into the USA. The Alaska Highway, both in Canada and the US had a fair amount of construction on it.
We ended in Tok, Alaska, and checked into our hotel right before 7 bus loads of tourists checked in.
The ride today went from a rain forest, up and over some mountains which were snow covered and lots of large evergreens. Once over the crest of the mountain the terrain became very sparse, although there were a fair amount of scrub type brush.
As we traveled further north the vegetation again changed into White Spruce - tall and thin.
I am not expecting internet access for the next two days - but it may occur. Just keep watching the posts.
Signed;
The Wayward Travelers
