Tok Line Camp Bed & Breakfast

... and the road much better than the more heavily travelled McCarthy Road in the southern part of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.<br> We got into Tok in time to have dinner at Fast Eddy&#8217;s Restaurant (a favorite on the Alaska Highway). We also discovered all of the tar on the back of the coach and front of the car. We used Bug-Off to remove the tar on the coach, but the car will have to wait until morning.<br>

... there was a car stopped on side of the road coming our way. As we passed by, the guy decided to moon us. Well, we were looking for wildlife, but we only got to see his shiny-hiney. I guess you have to take what you can get, but I could have done without that!! It didn't look any different than any others I've see. It was only 10:30 in the morning or I would have thought that maybe he was drunk. Yu

... morning, it&#8217;s all you can eat sourdough pancakes. Each evening (except Sunday) they serve an evening meal of either reindeer chili or a special soup &#8211; both served in a bread bowl, and Ken and several others provided musical entertainment. Now Ken&#8217;s wife, Anne, and Ken&#8217;s son are running the place. They still have the pancake toss, and tonight a few musicians were present to amuse the crowd but it will never be the same ...

... skirted the boundary of the park and the shores of Kluane Lake. This was a beautiful lake surrounded by wilderness. Destruction Bay is a small community located on the Lake. It received its name when a violent storm destroyed all the buildings and much of the AK Highway construction materials stored there.<br> <br><br><br><br ...

We arrived at Tok, Alaska this morning. The drive from Beaver Creek to here was only bad for the first 30 miles. We are staying 2 nights at Tok. We washed both pickups and 5th wheels. Wow were they ever dirty. Lyle could make a fortune up here washing RVs and vehicles after people come off the Alaskan Hwy. We caught up on some laundry ...

... had a beautiful sunset. As we prepared for bed Warren came in and said he thought we were going to see northern lights. Back outside to stand with our necks craned to see the display that seemed just for us. To the naked eye, the lights appeared faint and white. I wasn't able to get pictures with my camera but Warren did. The lights, to the camera, were actually green. Absolutely astounding and another checkmark off my list of things to see in Alaska.

... tops holding back one of the largest non-polar ice fields in the world. Our first stop was the Kluane National Park visitor center. Kluane, combined with the Wrangell - St. Elias National Park in the US, is the largest protected wilderness area on earth. The mountains are still growing and we learned that there are over a thousand "seismic events" a year here including ...

... belt. In fact he has a '95 Road King with over 100k miles on it. Anyway the point is, Bob had many touring tid-bits he shared with me. But the one tid-bit that really got my attention was that even though he preferred a tent he used a queen-sized air mattress to sleep on. That's right boys and girls, a QUEEN size complete with fitted sheets. In fact he blew the thing up with a DC powered ...

... waiting for the pilot car, (they have a pilot car at road works to escort you through if there is one lane closed, it has flashing lights and a big sign written "Follow Me" Of course rick doesn't help his fellow passengers when he breaks into song" Follow me I'm the pied piper, follow me....." " gee don't you love the 60's music !" lol if you are old enough to know it! We pulled into Beaver creek the last Canadian "town" before crossing the border. We ...

... during the hail of stones from the gravel as did our windshield. The windshield got a small crack but there were some lines coming out of it so we got if repaired for $50. After a quick lunch we took off for the visitors center and this huge souvenir shop. I did not get anything here but I did see some cool stuff I might pick up on the way out of Alaska since we will take this road latter on. Back at the RV Pooh gave me and the dogs a haircut. As she ...
