August 31

We made it from Glennallen to Tok. Then Tok to Congdon Campground at Destruction Bay. That is where we saw the grizzley bears when we where here last time. We got into the Yukon the next day at Wolf Creek Campground, and picked up supplies. Now we are in Teslin doing laundry, since we will be dry camping for a while. Our plans are to go into the Northwest Territory, if the road is ok. Notice the road conditions going from Tok to Destruction Bay.
Meanwhile, Gene is doing fine. I think he just wanted to lie around for a few days.
The ride down here was beautiful. The trees are turning colors with beautiful hues of yellow, orange and although the fireweed is not in bloom any more, the red of their stems can be see far away. The fireweed stems open up to produce seed. When we first saw it we thought someone had lost a bale of feathers. The mountains seem to have more snow on them and the tempertures at night are in the low 40's. During the day, once the sun comes out, it is a pleasant 60 degrees.
Since we are in Canada we do not have phone service. I will write at the first chance I have to keep in touch.
