After Skagway we drove the 50 or so miles back to the Alaska Highway and continued on up through the Yukon, stopping for a night in Whitehorse. And then another night at Beaver Creek. And then back into Alaska, and another night on the Matanuska River, 20 miles or so short of Palmer, site of the Alaska State Fair, already underway.

| Huge expedition rig seen in Whitehorse; we used to think these rigs were cool... |

| Most photographed church in the Yukon; see below; very similar to one we saw in the Orkneys...same vintage |
 |
| Standard Pacific Rim signage |
 |
| No end to the ugly Black Spruce |
 |
| As we entered Alaska, some of the really big coastal mountains emerged through the clouds |
