No rain again during the night! Always makes packing up easier!! And faster, we are on the road by 7:45. During the ride north through Canada we realized that gas is VERY expensive there, so we chose to fill up at the last gas before the border. It is a strange crossing. You pass the US crossing (for the oncoming traffic) first, then about 20 miles later you come here, to the Canadian Crossing.
When the border guard asked me how long I would be in Canada I answered that we weren't sure which way we were going to go home so it could be 4 days or longer. He reminded me that if I was going with the rest of the group, we were going to Skagway, so we'd only be in Canada for 24-36 hours. Oopps! My bad!
After the border, it started to rain, like really rain, the kind you can hardly see through. The only up-side was that all the construction zones that were signed for heavy dust didn't have any, as it was RAINING!!!
We continued on through Haines Junction, finding a Yukon Provence Campground on the Takhini River, about 10 miles of dirt, south of the highway. We found this large campsite, and had some of the nicest neighbors. One couple brought over sliced watermelon. Yum!!

After the rain, the blue sky was a welcome sight.
No covered camping at this place, but it still had free firewood, so we had a great evening fire. We tarped the tents, just in case!!
Long day,
345 miles
