Tok, AK to
Destruction Bay, YT
August 19, 2013
Just when you think the roads may be getting better, down falls
the road into frost heaves permafrost sink holes. But we made it
unscathed except for nerves. The benefit of the day was clearing skies and
sunshine and the spectacular Wrangell Mountains off to the west. We arrived at
Destruction Bay to a warm welcome from our host, a bar, and a home cooked aged
slow cooked roast of beef dinner. After dinner we were treated to a guitar concert
by the owner and his friend, oldies country. They can pick and sing! As the
evening ended the beer was still flowing. Several of us Peter, Jeff, and I hung
out for a bit. Jeff smartly left and shortly thereafter this English gentleman,
also visiting brought out his bottle of fine Scotch…so smoooooth!

Destruction Bay, YT
to Skagway, AK
August 20, 2013
The sun stayed with us and good roads prevailed. Donna even
drove for 90 miles while I slept in the back. Of course we drove through
Whitehorse to grocery shop and saw the no longer baby Bald Eagle sitting on the
edge of the nest near the south end of town. We made it through Customs just
fine and crawled down the 11 mile, 11% grade into Skagway. Upon arriving we
found out our tail ender had a flat on one of his duals and another blew a
front tire on his toad, wrecked the rim too.
