MAY 23 SUNDAY - DAY 5

436 miles today. We left camp before 6 a.m. every day. Today was no exception. Drove the Haines Highway between Haines Junction, Yukon Territory and Haines, Alaska. We crossed the border to the USA at 2:00. They kept my potatoes!! 1st stop was the carwash. Then out to the lake. There are already campers so Bob will start to work tomorrow. Back to the shop to talk to Preston the Ranger. He will be out tomorrow with Jen and Nick to bring supplies and set the camp host sign. We are staying in town tonight for showers, laundry, and to fill and empty the trailer…..and also because there is someone in our site! Today we saw one black bear, 2 moose, and 2 dear porcupines. Bob says they do not cross the road very fast!

Total trip 2164 miles in 4 days (total).
