Day 38

The RV park we stayed in last night was in the forest with large camping spaces (as were the other RV parks in Tok). They were the kind of parks you’d like to stay in for a week, except, there’s absolutely nothing to do in Tok. No points of interest, no fishing, no hikes – nothing.

We set out on the Alaska Highway at 9:10 winding through forests and mountains; we could actually see lakes and valleys that stretched on forever. We still couldn’t see the mountain tops because of the clouds. A storm passed over us during the night and we quickly caught up with it this morning – more rain.

We crossed into Canada at 11:30 and are now back to kilometers (plus it’s an hour later). We have to adjust our brains to metric – old dogs, new tricks. I commented on the horrible road conditions yesterday but they were mild compared to today. Jan had to maneuver over cracks, bumps, dips, pot holes, and large frost heaves. It was pretty slow going. About a six mile stretch was under construction and was dirt or, in this case, mud. The truck and trailer looked almost as bad as when we went to Chicken.

We ended up in an RV park that’s in a beautiful setting. It sits on Kluane Lake which is huge and has clear, blue water. On the opposite side is snow capped mountains. Awesome!

Many days and miles ago, a couple named Marshall camped next to us at Kasilov RV Park. Not Jerry & Nancy Marshall, they’re always camped with us. It was Ronny & Renee Marshall. As we got settled today, a trailer came in and parked next to us and it was them. How strange is that?
