Wednesday July 20

Haines Crossing, YT
FAS/Gas RV
8AM.MT 54°F partly cloudy 
This DC-3 in advertised as the largest wind vane in the world. Wonder the wind speed required to move it. (Whitehorse, YT)

Today we continue to Whitehorse;  YT and then to Skagway, AK.
The clock is sure to be wrong tomorrow 🙃.  On the way we pass through 3 time zones in 106 miles.! TERRITORY - MOUNTAIN time
British Columbia - Pasific Time
Skagway - Alaska Time

The drive is down hill
As we decend into Skagway the road drops on a 8% grade (8ft/100ft) for the last 10 miles. Which is no big deal except it is dense fog, no guard rails and a river valley to the side. G
The good news is the drop is on other side of the two lanes. It's  interesting that there is no fog in BC but as we move into Alaska and closer to the coast fog appears.
We get the last site at the Garden City RV Park. We spend the the rest of the day doing laundry 🤪
