Valdez to Tok to Burwash Landing - Uneventful except for????

 We have spent the past couple of days basically making our way from Valdez, to Haines via Tok and Burwash Landing.  The drive was way too far to do in one day so the trip was split up into three days driving with two overnight stops, one in Tok, one in Burwash Landing.  The drive from Valdez to Tok on the 28th was beautiful and uneventful and the only thing we did in Tok was have a beer, take a hike, sleep, and get up again to drive again.

We left around 9am on the 29th to drive to Burwash Landing which is back in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Consequently we had to go through customs again where we met a great young man who was spending his vacation next week in Morro Bay, Ca - what’s the chances of that!!  We were passed through with no problems!
The road changed drastically once we passed into the Yukon Territory and it became one of the worst, bumpiest gravel covered, dustiest roads since we took the highway to Chicken. 




































































While driving from Tok to Burwash Landing another SOB (some other brand) passed us going about 60 miles an hour ( everyone else, including us was going 30 miles an hour because the roads were so bad). We didn't realize until we arrived at the camp that a stone had gone through our "stone guard" and shattered the front window on the airstream..

So, plastic sheet later and lots of tape, we are ready to go again. In terms of problems, this is an easy one to deal with.  It beats the loss of a wheel someone on the caravan had to deal with!




The Disaster!!!!!!
