Alaska Day 15

 

Up with the birds. Camped in a Yukon Territory Park which has an honour system, you fill out a form after picking a site and put your money in the envelope and stick it in the hole in a lock box…$ 12.00.no services….Joan and Heather would squirm here…..no wash facilities. Tonight I am at Robert Service campground in Whitehorse….all motels were booked….fees 150. to 189.00 per night. Prices are high here but it does cost extra to transport goods to the far north. With  the higher costs come bigger portions as per my lunch at again an unassuming cafe. I stopped because I saw 2 bikes parked out front. This place was miles from any place near the forks of the Robert Campbell hwy ( 300 plus miles of gravel ) and the Klondike hwy. While I was there 2 buses stopped….the waitress said they were tour buses from the ships at skagway. My meal with small styrofoam coffee. By the way, that is sitting on a Dinner Plate…$ 15.65 Delicious….only ate half…taking 2 COLESTRAL PILLS TONIGHT.

  THE YUKON SITE….I KNOW I MIXEDUP DINNER & CAMP.

Set up tonight in the rain…..had a long shower which should have cost $ 2.00 but it didn’t shut off after the last guy. Then I put 1.25 in the pop machine on the way out and it gave me change of 4 Quarters for my loonie plus the pop. OK, I am an honest enough guy, I reported the shower and the coke machine behaving like a slot machine. The office took my winnings, fixed the shower and then charged me $5.00 to use the internet…GO FIGURE.   the vastness of this place is amazing the inside of that Cafe….the bikers said their sandwiches had been the same… 

  Have a good night
