9-20 - MONDAY

We both slept 9 hours last night! It was 33 degrees out when we woke up and 49 inside! We built another fire and finished packing up. Jen from the Parks Dept. came out to tell us goodbye. Then she went off to clean toilets which Bob was happy to let her do! We went down to the ferry terminal and waited an hour and a half to board. Louie and Matt (the guys that count fish at the weir) circled back and came to tell Bob good-bye. We were the first to board the ferry which of course means we were the last to unload. It only took about 10 minutes to unload everyone. In Skagway we made one stop at the T-Shirt Store, then drove the South Klondike Highway and ended up at Teslin on the Alcan Highway. Teslin is in Yukon Territory, 140 miles southeast of Whitehorse. 181 miles today. Clear blue sky but cold and the fall colors are beautiful. Got fuel and had dinner, and lost an hour on the clock because of the time zone change.


PICTURE DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE!
