Today was Teslin, Yukon

August 5 – The trip up and down the mountains was not nearly as stressful as it was coming.  Some of the change is it was not foggy so we couldn’t see 3 feet ahead and it was wasn’t raining.  It was much faster than it was coming.  So we had a nice drive behind Dave and Donna and we took one rest stop break and enjoyed the scenery. 

Our stop for the day was Teslin, YK so we crossed the border again into Canada and that went really smooth as well.  It’ kinda helps to be later in the line of us as they have heard the details already so pretty much get your tag number and off we go!

Teslin was a new campground for us as it was the one that was flooded on our way up.  It is right on a lake and they had at least 50 of those huge sand bags that are about 3 foot cubes.  They had been moved away from the lake side and it appears they are back in business for all of the park.  We’re pretty sure a lot of the sites are taken by fishermen.

Bill and I went up to the office building looking for a grocery store and it has a small restaurant run by native Americans.  They told us the grocery store is across the road and as we walked out here cam Barb who was also looking for the grocery store so we went together.  I was mainly looking for a hot plate to cook on since I can’t use the stove at this point.  No luck on that but I did get a couple of things and Barb found what she wanted as well.

It was starting to rain on the walk back so we kinda rushed along.  The rain didn’t last long and we did see the new couple arrive.  They were on the same trip 5 days ahead of us and had RV issues.  They will finish out the trip with us. 

The campground was OK, nothing special.  We did have water and electric so I did get to do a load of laundry.
