Mile 0 behind us, we continued on the AlCan. The next overnight was on the Peace River at Peace Island Park—a nice little overnight, electric, and water spots with lots of space.

We made another stop at Triple-G Hideaway in Fort Nelson.

The next day we continued, stopping to admire Muncho Lake.

Our evening stopover was at Liard Hot Springs for the famous springs. They have electrified bear fencing around the springs.

We all took a dip in the springs, moving upstream for hotter temps and downstream for lower.

Much like 59 years earlier.

We only spent one night at Liard and continued to the Yukon.

The next stop was Watson Lake and the Sign Forest. We checked on our sign, placed there 4 years ago and the Chens put one of theirs up.

Our sign (license plate) had lost the marker that we put on it over time so we added some back. Here is a view of part of the ‘forest’.

We boondocked in the parking lot near the forest and continued the next day. Another overnight near Teslin Lake with a 15amp spot (I just hooked up Starlink). Our next stop was Whitehorse YT for some restocking, and laundry and we took a day trip to Skagway. We also drove around Whitehorse to see the sights.

On our day trip to Skagway, we stopped to see Emerald Lake on the way.

Skagway was Skagway, touristy and pretty busy since there were two cruise ships in port. On the way back, Marcia spotted some animals. We stopped to see a mother Grizzly bear and her cub. We watched them for at least 20 minutes.

Back on the road to keep going. At Whitehorse, we needed to make a decision. Do we take the Top of the World highway that continues north through Dawson City and on to Tok, or do we stay on the ALCAN highway and head directly to Tok. We looked at the weather report as it had been raining quite a bit and was forecast to do more. The Top of the World highway had quite a bit of construction going on and that could mean muddy roads and ruts. We opted to try to get to the TOTW highway on the return.

We came across a bridge that was no longer in use. I couldn’t help thinking that, in 1964, we may have driven across this bridge with our station wagon and trailer.

We were still trying to get to the elusive Alaska border. We had to stop one more night at Burwash Landing. We boondocked in front of the Kluane Museum of History. The worker there was very friendly and outgoing and had no issue with us staying. The museum is a great little one basically in the middle of nowhere.

The next day we were able to get to the Alaska border and on to Tok for a few nights. A total of 1257 miles from Milepost 0 to Tok.
