Crossing back over towards Buckshot Bettys

This morning we left Tok on our way back over the Canadian border on our way to Whitehorse, YT. We all decided we didn’t want or need to do another 300+ mile day, so my friends were trusting my notes in the Milepost to a cool place to boondock for the night. (I had a Plan B if we couldn’t find it or didn’t like it).
We were extremely thankful the 113 miles from Tok over the border into Canada wasn’t such a mess we rode in on. (I think they moved the construction to the Tok Cutoff road! LOL!
We made it back over the border into Yukon (YT), had a little stopover for lunch and moved forward. Past Buckshot Bettys in Beaver Creek (you’ll have to read previous posts on that story), past the Indian Village of Snag where back in 1947 functioned as an emergency airstrip for aircraft flying from Edmonton to Anchorage & Fairbanks. Snag’s claim to fame is the lowest recorded temperature in Canada: –81.4 F/ –63 Celsius on 02/03/47. (Alaska’s lowest was –80 F/-62.8 Celsius on 01/23/71.  Past Moose Lake (still no moose); over White River (white caused by the volcanic ash in the water). Past the beautiful Discovery Yukon Lodgings & RV Park that I would’ve loved to stay at,  but……; past Pine Valley Bakery Creperie (a historic Alaska Highway lodge lovingly resurrected), over the Edith Creek bridge; to the Donjek River Bridge. DC 1098.7 (1761.6 km ) where I had scribbled “boondock” in the Milepost. It was a good gravel access to informal parking area near the Donjek River.
It was a nice, peaceful place by the water with some woods that we parked at and chilled. The girls were happy to have a place to run & of course Cheyenne made her way to the waters edge where she saw & tried to catch  some small fish. Since we had mountains on all sides, it was pretty, but as the day drew to an end, the clouds rolled in & we hunkered down for the rain. It was a nice, quiet drizzle with some wind, but I slept like a log!
Here’s some pics of the ride & the view of our site:
     
This is the view of where we boondocked and the rainbow
 


We had a nice relaxing evening. Mr. Charley fixed his favorite chicken tenders, pimiento cheese sandwich, potato chips & pork-n-beans. We ran the generator (no quiet time here LOL!) watched a movie & slept like a baby.
Tomorrow we’ll  make our way to Whitehorse, YT & hang for a few days.


Have a good one everybody, we’re trying to
