Congdon Creek return

It was a great find at Deadman Lake. We'll try to stay again if we are back. We stopped in the Tetlin Wildlife Preserve Visitor's Center, and they gave us info on how to volunteer. They even showed us the volunteer campsite next door.

The border crossing was uneventful. We paid $8 per gallon for gas in Beaver Creek and bumped our way along for another 100 miles over terrible roads to Destruction Bay. They were working on the highway, but only enough to cover us in that gray sludge. At first, it was raining and washed the mud away, but the closer we got to the campsite, the sunnier it got. Imagine us wishing for a gullywasher!

About a mile from the campground, we saw a black bear on the side of the road. It is a good reminder to keep our site clean and free of trash or food left out.

Tomorrow, we will head for Nordic Eclipse Hot Springs and campground outside of Whitehorse for 2 nights. Hope to find rain or a car wash in between!Read more
