Left Haines this morning and have had a very nice drive to Destruction Bay, Yukon Territory. Staying at a roadside campground and the wind is blowing hard.
Today's drive was just about as colorful as I have ever seen. Masses of Lupine, Purple Pea Vine, Dandelions, Wild Sweet-pea and Jacob's Ladder. On top of that the lakes here are a stunning blue green color. We also saw a Black Bear crossing the road. Talked to several nice people along the way. One couple from California. Another family from Colorado.
The proprietor of the campground told me that the road gets bad tomorrow. The frost has let go and the pavement is broken and bumpy. No more than we have expected. Will just slow down and take it as it comes.
I hope the wind will let up by morning. I promised one of my hiking buddies at the Sr. Center to throw a rock in Kluane Lake for her. This lake covers 154 square miles.
We should make it into Alaska tomorrow. Hope to have Wi-Fi then and can update again. Sorry the weather has been so hot and humid there. Send us about 10 degrees. Today is the first day, since Death Valley, that I could wear a short sleeved shirt.
