Nat'l Park # 2 (Haines Junction to Wrangle St. Elias National Park)

Day 5
Mileage: 395

We got a decent start this morning, out on the road by 7:30. But right away we were stuck behind a Canadian road crew (who happen to stay at our motel) that was painting yellow lines on the road. Once we got past them (leaving yellow tire marks down the highway), we were stopped yet again for blasting work in Kluane, the Canadian half of the park. A little drive longer, and we were back home in the good ol’ US of A. We stopped off at a grocery store in Tok for camping supplies, and set up our camp in Wrangel-St. Elias National Park. We made a little fire, and put our supplies away in the car because Emily thought it might rain. Then it rained, and we raced into our tent at 8:30pm. We played cards for a while and then went to bed. What a soggy night.
