The 6 Day Journey.7

Finally it was Friday, the last day of our excursion. The stretch of highway from Whitehorse to Haines Junction has the most majestic mountains. The most captivating peaks can be seen while driving through Haines Junction. Driving the Alcan Highway became more challenging as we began to travel northwest toward the Alaskan border. There are stretches of dirt road, which aren't bad. The pavement here for the rest of our drive through the Yukon Territory was extremely warped from weather damage. David had to maneuver so many times that it became impossible to shoot any more photos until we reached the boarder of Alaska.

It felt wonderful to be back in the good ol' USA! We were welcomed by the boarder agent. He walked out of his booth, holding our driver's licenses and passports. He placed is hands on his knees as he hunched down to look inside our little car. We were asked why we were moving all the way up here. He was not surprised by our reason to move to Alaska.

We were weary, but determined to reach our final destination. We bought 2 Rock Stars in Tok. One would have been sufficient, for the buzz it gave us later on. We checked into the Golden North Motel, a quaint, yet spartan, clean place to lay your head. This would be "home" for the next 8 days.
