Teslin to Congdon Creek on Kluane Lake

In the morning, we had a very pretty ride outside of Teslin to Whitehorse, YT, which was a booming little town. We stopped at their outstanding visitors' center and we also purchased a small grease gun for the bikes--now Mark was unstoppable!! It is important to mention here that his choice of dinner was also purchased in Whitehorse, which included a ribeye steak, and as a predinner snack for him, his favorite, canned herring with tomato sauce.

The ride just got better and better. Just as on Roger's Pass, I could not stop taking photos--it was just amazing. We came right up to the eastern edge of the St. Elias range in Haines Junction, and continued to head north on the Alaska Highway.

This is a local landmark in Haines Junction. The town is great, and there is a little village bakery run by a German gal who makes everything from scratch. They also host a salmon bake every Friday evening. Too bad it wasn't Friday...

In approach to our campground--too bad about the view, eh? The view below I didn't like so much, especially in light of my husband's grocery purchases...

Oh yeah, I would be sleeping soundly tonight...these soapberries were EVERYWHERE!! And then Mark opened his can of herring, and its contents went everywhere the soapberries were not!

I lived through the night to see this view in the morning, with the bear spray in my pocket, of course...
