*ferry from Juneau to Haines, AK
*drive to Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada
*stay overnight in Whitehorse
We started this new adventure with a super fun ferry ride from Juneau to Haines! I walked on to grab a table, while Bill and the girls waited to load the car. Our friends Jan and Steve (who were traveling to Haines to see family) joined us. We chatted, played games, knit, read, snacked, and whale watched the for the duration of the trip. As we pulled away from the terminal, the Kennicott was pulling in carrying Bill's replacement. We waved a "Welcome to Juneau!" wave as we got underway.
After arriving in Haines, we took a quick loop through town stopping at Mountain Market for lunch! One sandwich, one roll, two cookies, and two coffees (Aztec Mocha for Bill, iced coffe for me!) later, we traveled north heading for the US/Canada border.
Gray skies gave way to blue as we crossed the the border into Canada! We spotted lots of arctic ground squirrels (they look like prairie dogs) and saw a beautiful black bear!!
We finally arrived in Whitehorse around 5:45pm... We "lost" an hour entering Canada. We checked into the hotel, and then headed to Bocelli's for a yummy pizza dinner.
i spent hours putting this binder together
considering how organized our pack out wasn't,
i probably should have been working on that instead! ;)
