We arrived at the Kluane Kampground (Yukon) late this evening. Talk about a room with a view. We have been relatively fortunate with the views, but up here it is a bit hard not to - cleanliness on the other hand. I am quite sure Paris Hilton and Martha Stewart had cleaner accommodations in their prison bathrooms than some of what we have seen.

The kids played outside to burn off some energy. It was light out late, but it was obvious others had turned off the lights for the night so we put them down. The picture of the kids here is at about 10:30pm local time. The sun is still high in the sky. The second shot is about 5 mins after midnight. There is plenty of light to drive without headlights -- although we are going nowhere.

North to Alaska

Limo arrives at 4:30am for pickup. Early flight to Spokane where we are picking up our RV. Unbeknownst to us, Spokane is in the middle of a heatwave in the low 100s. We drive to SandPoint, ID just an hour south of the Canadian border our first night –106 for the daily high. We discover all the campsites are “primitive” – no power, water or sewer. Sweet. We were able to run the generator a while to run the airconditioner and cool the RV down. We went to sleep hot and woke up cold as the low dropped to the 50s and all our windows were open. It was an early morning and a run for the border.
