Since we last posted, we travelled from Kenny Lake to Tok on Wednesday.  We stayed at the Sourdough Campground which is where we stayed on our way into Alaska.  We had time to do laundry, get our mail from the post office, and get some groceries.  We also were able to have dinner at Fast Eddie's where we shared another huge plate of their fried mushrooms with another travelling couple we met.  We've pretty much filled up on mushrooms now.

Today we left early and headed to Canada on the Alaska Highway, the section we skipped on our way north.

Last month we followed the Alaska Highway from its start to Whitehorse, then took a slight detour north (on the Klondike Highway) to Dawson City and into Alaska by way of Chicken and Tok (on Top of the World and Taylor Highways).  We had heard other people's horror stories of the section of the Alaska Highway we missed: things like frost heaves and repair work, so we were wondering what we were in for. 

Turns out it was no big deal.  All it took was slowing down when we saw the flags.  Here is Kluane Lake, it is prettier than pictures can show

We ended up driving about 300 miles in 9 hours (which included stops for Customs, a State Tourist survey, Lunch, and a couple of stretches).  Here is another view taken from near our campground:

We just now sent an e-mail to our dinner partners from last night telling them of what to expect.

We will continue on our trek through Canada.  We don't have cell covereage and Internet access can be spotty.  We'll post a blog again when we can. 

Here I come Tim Horton's!!!
