DAY 2 (Tok AK)

Goal leave Tok AK in the morning, get somewhere in Canada to sleep . We have met our goals for today! It’s all in how you set them. We left before noon and took the first campground (Beaver Creek) in Canada to sleep. Yukon Territory is on Pacific Time. So if was later then we wanted to drive. The roads were rough but not as bad as from Palmer to Glenallen. Boots finally drove. She is a much better navigator than I am and it’s hard to type this but I think she might be a better driver than me, too!

Other observations – still no one going our way, more coming towards us today, a little rain last night but clear summer skies all day (cooler though), saw 1 other Alpenlite coming to Alaska, raspberries, forget-me-nots and fireweed on side of road, and still poor gas mileage - calculation being worked. We paid 5.35 per gallon today.
