We pulled out from Skagway early again. We began by following the White Pass Railroad thru White Pass at least for some of the way. White Pass was the other route to the gold fields but much harder although the stampeders said that one was "hell" and the other was"damnation". They both killed a lot of people and on the White Pass about 3000 horses died on the trail. Eventually this was the route for the railroad.
We crossed the AK/Canada border again at Fraser and went past Carcross again and the turn bridge and turned onto Hwy. 8 to Tagish. We stopped at Teslin for lunch and a nap and shortly after saw a brown bear near the road. Had to stop for ice cream at Continental Divide Restaurant and then arrived at our destination--Baby Nugget RV Park. We had our briefing for the next day and ended the day. P. S. Forgot to mention that there is a forest fire that is 7 miles from us but the wind is blowing it away from us; however that leaves us in a bit of a pickle as to what tonight or tomorrow will bring. The good thing is that the communication area is located in the campground the some of their people are staying here. We are to be ready to move by 6:30am and to get into line to be escorted past the fire unless things change during the night. This was a long drive to here today and we certainly are hoping not to have to turn around and go back the way we came, but time will tell.
