Main Street Motel Tok

... drumroll, please....Mukluk Land! I took many pictures here just because I knew I wouldn't be able to explain this place sufficiently with just plain words. Mukluk Land was the brain child of a married couple who were both schoolteachers. They always had a dream of creating a spot where visitors to Tok could go to experience the history of the town. Mukluk Land is their dream come true. Both of these ...

... chili or corn chowder.<br><br>The nightly activity is a pancake toss. You get two tries to get a pancake in the bucket; the prize is an all-you-can-eat sourdough pancake breakfast. Neither of us got our pancakes in the bucket, but it was lots of fun and laughs. <br>

... to the base &#8220;FamCamp&#8221; tomorrow and select us a site so we don&#8217;t have to worry about the camp filling up before we get there. We&#8217;re hoping to stay at Ft. Ric******* instead of Elmendorf as we have been told it is nicer and they have full hookups. Since we&#8217;ll be there several weeks, hookups are nice. I&#8217;m sure the next few days will be busy with very important things like getting my allergy shots and a haircut. And ...

... prior to going through U.S. Customs. We took pictures at the "Entering Alaska" sign. As we entered Alaska, we finally had better roads. Unfortunately we will have to repeat the last two days of rough road on our way home. <br> <br>From Beaver Creek to the Border the road was quite rough as this section of the highway is built on ...

I woke them up really early this morning. Val was the first to get up. If I put my cold nose just right into her ear she jumps right up. Dave is another story - he's a hard core snoozer. Val let me out on my lead, and let me tell you I did not linger outdoors! It is cold and snowy, and it is wet heavy snow. Very soon we have left Whitehorse behind and are on our way to the good 'ole USA. There was not much going on along the highway in terms ...

... we Cordovans enjoyed working on our tans, :). Tok is a small town perfect for gasing up before crossing the border. There's a cool visitor's center on the edge of town and a playground for kids not far from that. I hope to have some photos comming soon. I've taken tons of pictures, but just haven't had the time to put them on here.

... so empty you can pass them at almost any time. We spotted a moose and young calf along the road and later some wild trumpeter swams - they look so much larger in the wild then in a city park (and maybe they are!) We stopped for the "night" (it never really gets dark this far north) in a state park just outside the town of Tok. Apparently, the town was originally Tokyo Village ...

Day 63 Tok - Chicken - Dawson City. Before we left to head out of Tok we spent some time searching for some extras for the Castle, With the conflicting reports we had received about the Top of The World road, being rough with sharp stones and be prepared for a puncture, to "it is not too bad, a few gravel patches and take your time" As a precaution we decided to go find a jack and wheel brace, (no we did ...

Day 50 Yukon - Alaska Last night we met some Canadian RVer's on the sites behind us. Dean, Bobbie, Robert and Carol. They have done some extensive travelling both here and also overseas to NZ and Australia. This morning we packed up and rolled the castle to the information centre in Whitehorse. The information centre was well laid out with a great amount of information available. We managed to obtain a free road map of the Yukon to add to our collection ...

... After the concert came the pancake toss - if you toss a pancake into a bucket you get a free breakfast tomorrow morning. I tired and missed, but I'll still get the breakfast tomorrow for $7.50. The RV Park is great as most of the sites have many trees in-between them. The bad part was the fact that their Wi-Fi had no down or up loading so I could not blog today. I'll give it a go in Valdez tomorrow. After a few loads of clothes, we called it an early night.
