Day 25 & 26…to Haines, AK then Whitehorse, YT

Howdy…

Thursday morning we departed for the city of Haines, AK. The 147 mile ride through 30 minutes of rain and at 45 degrees was great. We found the town quaint. We had lunch at the harbor, where we waited 45 minutes for a ham and turkey club. It was great when we got it! But, good grief, 45 minutes for a sandwich?

Day 24….Tok, AK to Haines Junction, YT

Alcan Motel Dinner

Howdy All,

Wednesday, we left Tok and headed toward Skagway, AK. We passed some beautiful scenery and made it the 290 miles to Haines Junction, YT. We spent the night at the Alcan Motel, which is not 5 star, but was clean and had a great view of the mountains. We had dinner in their restaurant, where the filet mignon was outstanding and very well presented. I ate all of it, which is highly unusual for me. I would rate the restaurant 3 star, but the food 5 stars.
