The Last Frontier.

Leaving Watson Lake we headed west towards Whitehorse! We were so excited to actually spend the night around civilization! Whitehorse had a population of 26,000 and that was the largest town we had experienced in several days! We lucked out and there was one campground that was open this early. We unloaded the camper and then headed into town to explore! Whitehorse is a cool town and we went out to eat at a local restaurant and had some poutine! Fries, cheese curds, and gravy! Couldn't get much better than that! After that we headed back to the camper to sleep off our food comas. The next day was a leisurely one, we woke up and made our way over to Tahiki Hot Springs and soaked in the hot water for several hours! It was so much fun! After that we headed on our way to Haines Junction, the last "town" before headed into Alaska. This town was probably one of our favorites! It had beautiful snow covered mountains and had a fun restaurant called Frosty's where we got a caribou sausage and pepperoni pizza. There were no campgrounds open so we ended up staying at a motel. The next morning we got up early for our 9 hour drive to Fairbanks, AK. We started off our journey and before we knew it we were crossing the border! The gentleman at the border crossing finally asked about the camper! Luckily everything went smoothly and we were able to cross without a problem! Probably one of the most exciting parts of the trip was not only getting to Alaska but being back in the states again. Don't get us wrong, Canada is incredibly beautiful with lots of wildlife but it was so nice not to deal with kilometers, liters, and Canadian money anymore. Also no less than 30 minutes into Alaska an entire herd of Caribuo crossed the road right in front of our car and a bald eagle flew over our car. We think that was Americas way of welcoming us home! We made it all the way to Fairbanks only to realize that no campgrounds are open so we stayed in another hotel. By far the nicest hotel we have ever been in! We plan to spend the day exploring Fairbanks and possibly go to more hot springs!! If you couldn't tell, we like hot springs!
