Travel Days 48 & 49: We departed Valdez about 7am with a gale force wind howling. We drove through great areas beginning to show fall colors. When we arrived in Tok at 12:30, it was simply too early to stop for the day so on we went toward Discovery Yukon Lodgings about 55 miles past the Canadian Border.
We set up camp very quickly-cold,windy and snowy! The campground was very nice-large areas between the sites, mountains in the background and far enough from the road for no road noise. It was decorated with many antiques-washing machines as well as military vehicles; plus moose antlers and heads of all kinds of animals.
Left this morning with a temperature reading of 37 degrees. It was wet, the road was the one with the reputation-dirt, rock, pitted, wash-board,etc! The price you must pay to drive to and from Alaska! But the scenery abounds and with the fall colors and snow-it was gorgeous. The pictures will tell the story.
Tomorrow it's on to Watson Lake as we head slowly toward home.
Just beautiful! I don't see many (or any) other people on the road. Are you the last trekers to leave Alaska for the summer? Lol
