Civilization at last! (June 25) and a rainy Sunday in Tok (June 26)


We were not in a great hurry because we only had 78 miles to go to reach Tok, so we enjoyed a great breakfast that Steve prepared for us before we got on the road.    While some of the highway was paved, and the scenery was again spectacular, most of it was again dirt, gravel, pot holes, etc.  etc.   By the time we reached the Alaska Highway, 12 miles from Tok, I felt like everything on me was shaken loose!  This is the 3rd time that Steve and I have traveled this highway, and we both agree that it will be our last!

The Tok Village RV Park is very nice.  It has 50 AMPs, cable, wifi, water and sewage.  We feel like we are in the Taj Mahal!  The thing the guys like best is the RV and car wash here.  They took care of cleaning our filthy RV's before we even went to our site!  We did a little shopping at the Three Bears Food Market then settled in for the night.
The RV's and tows get a much needed bath.  
We had a long, comfortable coffee time Sunday morning before donning our raincoats and venturing out.  We shopped at the Burnt Paw Gift Shop, which has a sod roof (just mowed yesterday) and cabins that also have sod roofs.  After checking out the Three Bears Outfitters, we enjoyed a late lunch at Fast Eddy's  then headed home for naps.  The evening ended with happy hour and Mexican Train.

The small building is a cache-storage to keep bears out of food. 
The pole has large burls, tree growths in which the grain has grown in 
a deformed manner.  The little bear is a decoration.
