August 31, 2006 (Day 99)

Today was another travel day. Our destination is a “fork in the road”, Junction 37, Yukon. There was a campground here, “Baby Nugget RV Park”. There was not much here but a gas station, a couple restaurants, small store and the campground. It was here that Alaska Highway 1 junctions with the most-dreaded Cassiar Highway (Hwy 37).


We traveled today with the Water’s. It was 44 degrees when we left with gray, damp weather. It had rained in the night and termination dust had fallen on the mountain tops. We had lunch at the Continental Divide Lodge, then traveled on to our destination, Junction 37. We arrived there around 2:30 p.m. It is always my job to go in the trailer first and assess the damage, if any, and report to Dan gently.

In the evening, there was a GRAM meeting (Get Re-Acquainted Meeting) where half of the group brought desserts. We then had our driver’s meeting for tomorrow’s trip to Iskut, BC.
