We left Haines this morning in the sunshine, made it thru Canadian customs with no issues and headed up the pass. And the clouds that were disappearing in Haines were hanging out in the mountains – LOL!
The mountains behind the clouds:
Coming into Haines Junction:
We were going to stay at the Million Dollar Falls Campground – but it was raining. So we moved on. As we were coming up the road, a huge grizzly ran right out in front of us. Andy hit the brakes and I really thought we were going to hit him – oh my!!! Sorry no pictures – LOL!!!
We then went to Kathleen Lake Campground – still raining so we decided to just keep on going.
We pulled in to a rest area and realized it was one of the stops we made on our way up. So here are more then and now pictures:

The red that you see on the mountain is the plants changing color for the fall.
We arrived in Whitehorse and are staying at the Pioneer RV Park for a few days. As we were getting set up, Jan and Ken stopped by. We met them at the Wasilla/Palmer Elks back in July and have been emailing ever since but just never crossing paths. So it was good to see them and we made plans for dinner tomorrow.
And it was a real early night for me – just not feeling well. I think it was a little left over from the boat trip yesterday. (I may just quit going on boats!!)
Until tomorrow.
