So our day was ending yesterday, July 12, 2017 coming to the last Yukon campground before the border, which was still 40 some miles away at least and Cliff saw a bull moose to the left. We turned around and he was out my window now and I got the camera clickin’. He was happy just standing eating his curds and whey or whatever it is in that water that does supply sodium, we saw a great show on tv about what they eat and its only in ponds…..think my memory is correct in all that!!!
Boy the drive from Tok, AL was beautiful, but was very hazy, probably smoke from fires we were sure, and today we found out, yep, there are some and a road we were hoping to come down on is closed because of that fire! 😦 97…..
Now we have another favorite road to drive on and it’s from Haines Junction to Haines AL………words can’t say enough even though it was cloudy yesterday and totally foggy today and broke away some today and lifted a tad here and there also today,,,,,,it was beautiful…….I need a Thesaurus to find another word, I’m sure you all are getting tired of ‘beautiful’ ahahahahaha A gal in the store in Haines Junction when she found out we were heading this way, she said it just gets prettier, and the trees get bigger and she was correct.
My husband isn’t feeling well at all today, I think we just aren’t eating right/enough…. We splurged here in Haines got a room for two nights, its rainy again and I figured sometime in our travels we’d like a bit more room, or a very dry space. Not horrible price either for being wayyyyyy up here!!! We’ve gotten more expensive rooms during summer travels in the main part of USA!!!
This is the view from
our camp spot at
McCarthy earlier in the week!
The sun came out Wednesday morning and I had to take more pictures of the scene above!!!!

More captions on pics above also!!!!
Oh and I sprained my ankle two evenings ago….I even fell, Cliff thought I’d dropped something in the camper, he opened the door and I was there on the floor. I’m thankful I didn’t hit my head on a cabinet, or a ledge that sticks out too!!!! So I can walk, he can eat, held down two sandwiches, so we are fine basically!!!!!! 🙂
So hope to see some bears here in Haines guess they are big on a river here!! Actually I saw one yesterday but we didn’t stop for reasons!!! 😦 grizzly that is even!!!
Paid for internet here at hotel……took a chance! Karen!!!!

Really enjoying following along. I hope the hotel stay is just what the doctor ordered! After horrible heat and weeks of no rain, we finally got some cooler weather and precipitation!! Happy days!
