My Journey to ALASKA

[(RIP) rustygates]

We set off from Haines to do the 150 mls to Haines Junction going along side the Chilkoot river, the road was tarmaced initially but after a few miles turned to a dirt road(why do they do that?)we left British Columbia and back into Yukon Territory,which meant showing passports as we had to do between Chicken and and Scagway at the Border and of course in Canada they are metric and US are imperial so we used litres in Canada and us gallons everywhere else same with canadian dollars and us dollars, very confusing when you turn up at fuelling stops, which there were only a few and them 6' 12" mounties packing pistols and funny hats, asking me did i have drugs or anything sharp in the RV, and i had bought a Bowie Knife in Scagway Ooops and we had a drawer full of cutlery, then he asked if we had any fruit or meat as this was prohibited,Ooops again we had just shopped in Scagway, No we said tounge in cheek and off we went passport stamped
