Whitehorse to Tok

July 9-10: We woke up in Whitehorse to solid rain. We had such nice warm weather until this point! But no matter, we have rain jackets and thankfully weren't in a tent! We got packed up and tried a Tim Horton's fast food for breakfast. Pretty good! Then, we hit the road.
The drive today was long, and the terrain was the most sparse that we'd seen so far. Quite literally, we filled up the gas at Haines Junction, and didn't see another gas station until we were hovering just below 1/16th of a tank. We had beautiful views of mountains and the Kluane River for our drive. The road on this stretch was the worst we had seen so far. Lots of portions were potholed gravel, and we finally ran into the notoroious frost heaves, which are like nature's speed bumps. Driving was slow going, but Dustin did a great job.

We all started feeling a little beat up until.... we finally saw the border between Yukon and Alaska!

After crossing the border, we found a campsite that had a restuarant attached. Sadly, it closed at 7pm, so we headed to "Fast Eddy's" for dinner, which was delicious! We went back to the campsite, enjoyed a comfy evening, and had a delicious sourdough breakfast the next morning.

Meadow even did a bit of driving the trailer and did a great job!
