June 5, 2016 Travel to Tok, AK

Sunday, June 5, 2016 Travel to Tok, AK

The road is getting more interesting. In the first 90 miles after we left Destruction Bay we had 50 miles of road construction, which means gravel and in some areas an escort through the construction area. It was 225 mile to Tok and 135of that to get to the US border. It took us 4 hours to complete that part of the  trip. As I stated before the Yukon does a great job in marking the bad parts of the road but once we got into the US you were on your own. The flags are only there for the really bad areas and you have to watch out for the other parts. We bounced really high a few times when I was not paying attention.  But all in all we had no problems and no broken windshield.

We arrived in Tok and fueled up getting ready for our trip to Valdez, AK tomorrow. Terry and Jim are leaving us for a while and heading to Chicken so Jim can get rich panning for gold.


I  have to mention this campground, SOUR DOUGH CAMPGROUND.  They are famous for their sourdough pancakes.  The owners made us feel very welcome and right at home. The sites we had were pull through with full hookups.  We have found that there aren’t very many places that have 50 amp and very few that have sewer.  This one had it all.  But the best part was a pancake toss to earn a free breakfast the following morning,  Of course Mike and Jim got a pancake in the bucket and won a free breakfast!!  Kudos to the owners, Tim and Stacy for a great time.
