This trip took three travel days, Fairbanks to Tok, Tok to Destruction Bay, Destruction Bay to Skagway. Day one saw some rain, but it had stopped by the time we reached Tok, so we set up an assembly line and washed our rigs. Day two saw more rain, and the road to Destruction Bay was horrible…lots of frost heaves and sunken spots. It did turn clear by the time we reached the campground and there the owner put on a wonderful BBQ dinner followed by some entertainment by him and his band, aptly called “Loose Gravel”. Day three started out beautiful, but about halfway between Whitehorse and Skagway, we hit rain again. Driving over White Pass, we hit the densest fog I have ever encountered. Apparently normal, both the Canadian and US Customs are below the summit by about ten miles each way. A 3,000 foot grade down to Skagway completed this part of our journey.
