Hello All!
Back to the trip! On Day Six, we drove 398 miles from Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada to Tok (pronounced Talk), Alaska, United States.
I'm pretty sure I found the only Starbucks on the planet without free Wi-Fi in Whitehorse. I didn't think such a thing existed. Since we arrived in Whitehorse so late the night before, we slept in a bit and got up and going in time for lunch. Since Starbucks didn't have Wi-Fi, the barista there suggested Earl's Restaurant. It was very posh, with a trendy almost night club-ish feel. We ate lunch and then at 12:30pm we hit the road again.
This stretch of road was the most... um... interesting to navigate. It was warped and had potholes and a large portion was gravel. So much for all the roads being paved. As we traveled the Dawson mountain range was on our right. This range (I believe) is part of the Canadian Rockies.
Soon enough (Yay!!!!!) we were back in the United States. It was nice to see a road sign and not have to mentally convert the kilometers into miles anymore. We had dinner at Border City, which was really just a gas station/cafe/souvenier shop combination. There was a hoodie there that said "Got Moose" and I'm still a little sorry that I didn't buy it.
Onward to spend the night in Tok. The hotel was very nice with theme weeks. It was Valentine's Week that week. Very cute. I slept very well that night, glad to be back on US soil and knowing there was only one day of traveling left.
More to follow! Take care!
