Bybee's Travels

June 4 to June 9, 2012

Today, June 4th is our 35th anniversary, it's been a great 35 years and more to come....
We left Watson Lake and will stop in Whitehorse, Yukon for 3 nights.  We had planned on only 2 nights but the Frantic Follies Vaudville Revue was not open on Monday, we decided we wanted to see it so we stayed.  We ate out on our anniversary at The Klondike BBQ and Salmon Restaurant.  Joe had reindeer stew over garlic mashed potatoes.  I had salmon, of course.  Everyone else had fish and chips except Larry had BBQ ribs.  It was very good and the employees made it lot of fun.

The next night we all went to the Frantic Follies

On Wednesday we drove in our cars to Skagway, Alaska.  We would not be going in our motorhomes but wanted to go there.  The town of Skagway is a National Historic Monument.  There were four cruise ships docked and the town was full of people.  We had brought our lunch and between shopping in the stores had our lunch in our cars, then did more shopping and looking around.  I took a lot of pictures on the road going and coming back but not any in town.  Joe did some video but it would take too long to upload here.

Thursday, June 7th we left Whitehorse and drove to Destruction Bay overnight.  It was rainy all day and night.  The RV Park was not even really open, his water pump was broken and the ground was too frozen to even have water to the sites but he did have electricity.  He gave us a break on the price and he had some really pretty hand made wooden folding tables for sale.  He said if we all bought two he would give us $10.00 off them too so we did.  The next morning we heard on the news that the road had washed out in two places during the night.  If we had not left we would have been in the Yukon even now or gone around through Dawson City through Chicken to Tok.  The road is still closed today (June 10th).  It was a dirty, wet, nasty drive to Destruction Bay and I only took pictures or our rigs.  The pics don't do justice to how really dirty they were.

We arrived in Tok June 8th, the RV Park we chose had a RV and car wash so we lined up and did some major cleaning during a brief rain storm before going to our spaces, not perfect but so much better. The next day we drove our cars to Chicken, Alaska, I will report on that in the next installment.
