The Great Alaskan Adventure

We left the park at 9:00 AM and immediately got into a huge construction zone. (I think they took the name Destruction Bay to heart when they started the road construction) If there is one thing Alaska has a lot of it’s construction vehicles and construction zones. I think it took us about an hour to do the first 10 miles. We stopped in Haines Junction for fuel and some stuff at the grocery store. On the way we stopped at “Million Dollar Falls Yukon Campground. It was a million dollar waterfall! We decided to have lunch there and then carried on to the Canada - Alaska Border just outside of Haines. As we got closer to Haines the weather kept getting nicer and nicer and by the time we were parked it was 81 degrees.....hey we are finally getting summer up here. We ended up in a campground overlooking the ocean. It was $25.00 a night US with full hook ups, it was that or $35.00 a night with not as nice a view. The State recreation areas were all too far out of town so it seemed the only choice. After we got settled we went out for all you can eat Dungeness Crab....Colin was in heaven!
Ed and Frances decided not to go and it was a good thing as the water pressure in the park was so high it blew a hose right off under their sink. We immediately unhooked the hose and just filled our water tank to run off the pump. Water pressure is nice......however blown hoses not so nice!
