May 13 - 15

May 13            This was our day to see lots of animals!


Notice the baby bison laying in the grass.


And here is our first bear. Saw another one in the edge of the trees later in the day, but didn't get a good picture of it.


Saw these two fox somewhat close to the road.  We were able to stop and wait in the truck  for them to sit up and move around.




Entered Yukon Territory, Canada and stopped in Watson Lake to see the sights!






More beautiful mountains and a herd of caribou along our drive!




 This bridge was at Teslin, Yukon Territory.  
There was also a great wildlife exhibit at the RV Park there.


Made it to Whitehorse late and stayed two nights at an RV Park with no water 
available yet.  Had electric and wifi, the important things!
May 14




Had a day of rest and took a walk along the Yukon River in Whitehorse.
May 15              Headed for Haines Junction, YT 


An old bridge restored to a historical view!






It's obvious why this is called "the muffin"!
Someone's idea of art, I suppose!




There was a great visitors center and we had lunch at the village bakery!

This is the view from the Haines Junction Visitor Center!  Wow!

The Alaska Highway took us all the way around this huge Kluane Lake.  

The dall sheep were on the mountain as we drove around the lake.

We stayed in a small campground just past Burwash Landing, called Pine Valley Campground.  It was old, with 15 amp electric, but we enjoyed the couple from 
France who owned it.  Her cooking was terrific and it was a quiet area!
The roads began to slow us down with many frost heaves.  
They actually got a lot worse than this!
And the next day we CROSS INTO ALASKA!!
