Cathedral Creek B&B to Takhini Hot Springs, Yukon (Day 5)

After another restful evening, we headed down the road to Tok, where we met a couple of nice sled dogs!


Then we hit the road for the border! 

The Canadian border crossing went great, and we were excited to see the Yukon!  We spent the entire day on the road and saw lots of cool things, but my favorite of this day was the Rock Shop just South of the border, where we met Dorothy and Jim and their dog Buddy.  Dorothy regaled us with tales of Grizzly Bears and Secret Service Agents; driving lessons and dogs; and I'm pretty certain I learned a lot about marriage in the half hour or so we spent with them!  She also made the world's best cowboy coffee--so stop in and say hello if you are ever passing through!
We continued South and ended up at Takhini Hot Springs for the night.  We got there too late to swim, and the mosquitoes were pretty terrible, so we swivelled the front passenger seat and hung out inside the van for a while before bed.
