Haines

We left Whitehorse about 8:00AM on June 7th
The views from Haines Junction to Haines were spectacular. Unfortunately, most of the way it was very overcast, as shown in the photos. By the time we reached Haines, it was a sunny with temperatures in the 60s or low 70s. Haines has a large eagle population. The guys went fishing one day up the inlet, and we had dolly varden for supper.

Travel days.......

On June 10th we left Haines & drove 356 miles. It was a long day. We stopped just inside Alaska and checked into an RV park.......Should have chosen a different one....the water was rusty and a 10kw generator for the whole park - not to mention the mosquitos. We were pretty dirty by the time we stopped for the day.....

We were up early and drove to Gakona on the Gulkana River. Larry E was anxious to try out some fisning. They made it into the park easy with their 5th wheel, but we could not make such a sharp turn. Fortunately the road went across to another highway so we could turn around and head into the park. There was only one spot left with electricty. Since we had a generator, we paid $15 to dry camp.
