We left Valdez and met up with Terry and Muriel and Robert and Carolyn in TOK. We had a nice meeting and dinner. The following day I picked up mail and we headed "down" the Alcan.
Terry and Muriel went to follow the TOP and make a road to Inuvik, while Roberty and Carolyn continued with their tour with their next stop of Fairbanks.
On to Destruction Bay and most of that road is just that. Much of the road work we saw on the way up was finished. Now that doesen't mean that the road was still smoth. The permafrost is still a challenge. The dirt had been changed with chip seal so much better. We stopped for 2 nights at Congdon Creek CG which is a YT park.
On to Whitehorse where we spent 3 nights at Pioneer Park. We took in a couple of sites that we missed on the way to Alaska. Also I worked on the coach since we were having some issues with turbo boost. That took about 3 hours to remove the closet trim to gain access. I made some Engineering Changes, EC's, so the next time it will take much less. I tightened about 6 close clamps that make up the plumbing fort the turbo system. I still think there is still a leak. I will making an appointment with a service center soon.
Next we continued on to Baby Nugget CG for an over night and dinner out. This made the junction with YT/BC 37 which is also known as The Cassiar highway. Now highway is a loose term. 2 lanes, no marking for most of it, chip seal for most of it, dirt/dust for most of it. The highlight was to make a stop at Jade Center. Yeah they have Jade. Our stop for that night was Shadow Mountain. We met another couple which had a Sheltie so of course we had a long visit.
So now we are in Stewart BC were we have met the folks from Shadow Mountain and a couple who we parked across from TOK and near us while at Whitehorse. We also met Bigbomer which is now a friend we have been exchanging posts and notes on rvillage
