British Columbia and Yukon. 710 miles. Lots of driving today! All along the Alaska Highway.
This is my route!
Started at the Fort Nelson historic museum.
At mile 300 on the highway The church was cool!And a neat model railroad A whole garage of old cars!But the rest of the museum was honestly creepy. All of these mannequins with zombie facesAnd creepy dolls that I just imagine coming alive at night Shudder They kept popping up all over and startling me Saw lots of wildlife on the drive! Bison, a caribou, big horn sheep, even a baby bear!The bison were legit scary to drive by. Ignore the sound of my audiobook haha. Listening to Middlemarch (a great book!)There’s a lodge at this mile marker that serves legendary cinnamon rolls but they were inexplicably closed, even though their hours said they should be open. Very disappointing.Muncho LakeLiard hot springs. I didn’t get in very far because I didn’t want to smell like sulfur all night and they didn’t have showers.Walk-through very cool marshy area over a boardwalk to get there and backYay!! Got service just past this point for a short while 😊Found this funky place!
Stopped for the night at a rest stop a couple of hours from Whitehorse.

Yukon and Alaska. 635 miles! Incredible scenery, some pretty rough roads, a quiet lovely spot for my picnic dinner. Finally made it to Alaska! 😊
This is what I woke up to!Misty and beautiful. The sun just rising through the trees Went to church in Whitehorse. Beautiful log chapel Many stunning things along the drive
The road through the last part of the Yukon territory was pretty sketch. So many potholes and gravel patches and construction sections. Took a really long time to get through.
Yay! Finally made it! The border patrol guard was very, very niceHappy to be here finally!And the roads improved greatly as soon as I got into Alaska 😊Stopped at a very pretty and peaceful spot for my dinnerCouple of beautiful
