Day 62. We left Dawson City at 9 a.m. We were thankful to be back on paved roads again after our experiences on gravel. We arrived in Whitehorse around 3:30 and immediately set out finding a tire to replace the one shredded on the Top of the World Highway. We purchased a tire and had it mounted, washed the Jeep and refueled. We got situated in our campground and ate supper at the Klondike Ribs and Salmon Barbecue Restaurant, the same one we ate at on the way to Alaska. I had halibut fish and chips (delicious!) and Gail had the half barbecued chicken. We retired around 10 p.m., thankful for safe travel and reprovisioned for the trip ahead.
Mileage for the day: 341 miles.
Mileage for the trip: 7,530 miles.
Day 63. We were off around 10 a.m. this morning, bound for Watson Lake. This will be the last stretch that we repeat on the Alaska Highway. From Watson Lake we will head south on the Stewart Cassiar Highway, bound for Hyder, Prince George and Lake Louise. The trip to Watson Lake went without hitch. We are doing laundry, revisiting the Sign Post Forest, and hopefully getting some calls out to our children. Tomorrow should be a long travel day, so we'll need to get a good start. We're looking forward to the Canadian Rockies and Jasper, Banff and Lake Louise.
Mileage for the day: 275 miles.
Mileage for the trip: 7,805 miles.
