![]() Most of the equipment has deteriorated beyond restoration, but this ambulance would be a great project. This part of the campground doesn’t seem to be in use anymore – it was where I had hoped to be parked for the night. Scattered around the campground is a large collection of military construction equipment from World War II when the highway was built. The sites cost $42 each, with 10% off for our Good Sam membership. There are 50 pull-through, full hookup sites, and we got 2 side by side, with a picnic table between us. During the trip, we planned to stay at both commercial and government campgrounds, with location being the main criteria for which one we chose. Our destination for our first night was Discovery Yukon, formerly the White River Lodge, on the Alaska Highway at Km 1818, 409 km (254 miles) from our home. He’s always seemed very adaptable, so we had high hopes that he’d enjoy his first trip. MJ and Jim’s dog, Charlie, is a wonderful little rescue, and gets along great with Monty and Bella. MJ and Jim had rented a 23-foot Class C motorhome, the largest that Fraserway offers in Whitehorse, and we expected to make good use of Cathy’s Tracker. Getting away from Whitehorse took a bit longer than we had expected, but as we headed west on the Alaska Highway, we left the rain, and just after 3:00 pm, we made our first stop, at one of our favourite beaches on Kluane Lake. With good Internet only for a few hours during the entire trip (at Talkeetna), I was only able to post a handful of pictures on Facebook, and blogging the trip seems quite intimidating at the moment, but we saw some amazing things, so I’ll give it a shot.
