Valdez – Glenallen – Tok – Haines Junction – Haines – Whitehorse – to Hwy 37 – to Stewart/Hyder.
Upon leaving Valdez we headed to Tok going through Destruction Bay. …this begins our trek to the lower 48 states. We caught up with Bob and JoAnn Strutka at the Tok RV Park where we spent 2 nights and got to eat at Fast Eddie’s 3 times. We were so excited because their food is wonderful.
We left Tok, again picking up Highway 1, and made our way to Haines Junction. Aftekr walking around HJ for a bit with Bob Struka, JoAnn and Bob pulled out for Haines and we hung around waiting for Mark and Sue to catch up with us. Haines Junction is in the Yukon and Haines is in Alaska. Mark & Sue, Robin and Paul (another Phaeton owner couple) pulled in and we all stayed one night in HJ. The next morning Bob and I drove our car down to Haines for the day and the others rolled into Haines a bit later with their rigs. We all got together at Mosey’s Cantina for lunch and to celebrate Mark and Sue’s 36th wedding anniversary
Sarah was cooking at Moosey’s. Here are some shots from the cantina.
I visited the quilt shop and got lots of help in choosing some fabric from Dianne and Rhona. The shop is called Material Girls and they have beautiful fabrics for such a small town.
Haines has a center where the Native Americans do beautiful work in different mediums. We were able to see a man doing some silver engraving.
Some gentlemen had been working on a totem pole that was started in 2007…it was finished just last month so we did not get to see any work being done but their plans for the project were still up.
This little guy was the official greeter for the center.
And this is his helper. Good help is hard to find these days.
A couple of random shots around Haines. It is part of the Alaska Water Highway System.
Late that afternoon Bob and I headed back to Haines Junction where we had left our rig and our little guys. We were to spend one more night in HJ before moving south to Stewart, BC/Hyder, AK.
Moving On.
