We had business to take care of this morning. We needed a new battery for our camper, an
oil change, and a few groceries. After our chores were done, we traveled 236 miles
to Moose Creek CG, YT. We got off the
ALCAN after leaving Whitehorse Klondike Highway Klondike
is a lot rougher than the ALCAN.
It has been a gorgeous day.
We almost had to turn on the a/c.
It got up to 62 degrees.
We have been impressed by the Canadians that we have met on
this trip. Everyone has been unbelievably
friendly and helpful; the customs officer when we crossed the border, the auto
department clerk at Walmart, the guy working at the Harley Shop, and the
attendants at the campgrounds. We asked a guy in a parking lot for directions
to the Harley Shop, he stopped what he was doing and walked out and looked down
the street to make sure that he gave us the directions that we needed. I
think that this has rubbed off on Lauren.
He did not complain about waiting for me to try on almost every shirt in
the Harley shop.
We are camped at a Yukon Government Campground called Moose
Creek. It is a very nice, wooded,
campground. It cost $12 to camp here and
the firewood is free. We cooked Fortenberry’s sausage over the fire pit grill
and had dill pickle chips. It was a
great supper.
On the way into the campground, we saw 2 other campers. One was an old 1953 Ford truck with a Mercedes
diesel engine towing a tear drop camper. It caught our eye the minute we saw
it.
The guy with the unique truck and camper came to our camp.
He was from our neck of the woods and currently lives in El Dorado , Arkansas Alaska
We are about 150 miles to the U.S.
border in Alaska Alaska
Today the wildlife count is 0. We could not believe in a couple hundred
miles that all we saw was a few birds and squirrels.
