Alaska Day 17

Yesterday as well as the next day and a half are going to be pretty boring.  We are backtracking, mainly because that is the only way to drive home.  We will be on the same road that we traveled north on.  At Watson Lake we will turn south into new territory.

Today we were all packed and ready to go by 7.  Our plan was to eat first at the motel restaurant and then head out.  We had a pretty decent breakfast, afterwards we hit the road.  We headed south where we took a break at Haines Junction.  The weather was slightly cloudy, but fairly cool.  At Haines Junction I had to put my warmer jacket on.

From Haines Junction we went to Whitehorse where we, believe it or not, stopped at the Wallmart.  We decided to have lunch at the McDonalds next door before heading out.  The day was rather boring, but the scenery was good. 

We decided to spend the night in Teslin, which is just a spot on the road.  We checked into the Dawson Peak Resort, don't let the name fool you, its a Fred Motel.  Tonight is burger night, yum yum.

Tomorrow we head to Dease Lake.
