Getting closer to Alaska!

Drove to Beaver Creek in the Yukon. The road to Haines Junction is pretty good, but the rest of the way has a lot to be desired. The last 40 miles to Beaver Creek has the most permafrost of the Alaskan Highway, which is permanently frozen earth, therefor the bad frost heaves and road conditions. As long as you go slow and I mean slow you survived:) We came upon one of the largest lakes we have ever seen Kluane Lake. The lake is a crystal like blue and is wonderful to see. The glaciers caused the reversal in the water flow over time. Beaver Creek is a very small town that has almost 200 people in the summer living there. The Westmark Campground is pretty nice and the sites have a lot more room than other parks we have stayed in. There isn't much to do, but after the drive, a day of relaxing is needed. Beaver Creek is only 20 miles from the Alaskan border and your only 2 miles at the most from the Canadian crossing. They have a nice visitor center and even allowed our dogs to come in and get a treat!! They also have statues of the original settlers of Beaver Creek. You can walk from one end of town to the other in 10 minutes as there isn't much to do or see. Since we had the extra day and had already walked to Beaver Creek and back, I had time to clean the camper, bikes and TW200, lots of bugs and road grime. Once the TW got washed I took her for a spin to the creek and down the main highway.

Time to get to ALASKA!!
