We had a nice drive today. Mostly clear blue skies and in the low 20s. We made a stop for a light lunch in Tok at Fast Eddies again – shared a plate of halibut fish and chips – it was early considering when we finished breakfast, but we figured it would keep us going until we stopped for supper. The mountain ranges today were pretty spectacular.
We decided to make our stop at the side of the road overlooking the mountain peaks. It was a pull out about 20 miles from the Alaska/Yukon border, and although we stopped there late afternoon, we only had two vehicles pull in the whole time through to the next morning. We had a good visit with one of the people who stopped – he was retired from the military, having lived in Alaska for 10 years. He was pulling a fishing boat and had a tent platform on his truck. He now lives in Minnesota but comes back up to fish and hunt every year in the late summer/early fall. We finished the evening with a spectacular sunset.
In the morning, we had breakfast and headed out – next stop Kluane Lake!
