Garden City RV Park 

Skagway, AK

8:30 AM. 59°F. Raining 

We've decided to take a side trip to Atlin, BC just because it's there. When we get to the Canadian border the border guard asks where we're headed: "Atlin", we say. His immediate response is "Why, there's nothing there".🤣

Back in BCfor the day.

The bypass road to Atlin is in Carcross and just before getting there a brown bear with cubs is right on the side of the road. I could get Bob to pose with them so...

There was one brown cub and one black???

We stopped in Carcross ( a First Nation community) for lunch.

Very rustic.

 The drive to Alin was a very quiet drive. We lost XM radio again or still and there is absolutely no other vehicles. This for you military jargon buffs. We passed a campground  called Snafu then a few miles down the road a campground named Tarfu. I kept looking but never found Fubar. Oh well.

There are a few private mines in Atlin and if your into backcountry kayaking this is the place.

The river was moving a little too fast for looking from pebbles . The area had several mines all posted. So we headed back.

On the way back to Skagway we find a place to eat called Six Mile River Resort. Nice place on the banks of you guessed it Six Mile River in Tagish, BC.

it's a Lodge with cabins but the kitchen was open to the public. So we asked what the speciality of the house was: Pizza! 🤣

We sat the bar and watched Mitch (the owner)  make our pie. This was the best pizza we've had on this trip!!!

Bob ate half before I could get my phone out to take the picture. 😉🤣

Mitch and Doug Dupont (owners) are open until September then close and head to their private resort in the jungles of Panama called Panayukana.May have to check this one out some cold winter day.

In talking to Doug we find out that they have RV sites on the property. So we tomorrow will be a short drive day and fishing on Six Mile River.
