Day 14: Destruction Bay, YT to Tok, AK

August 04, 2017 by Rita Fisher

We got up, packed up our campsite, and decided we'd definitely try to make it over the border today. It was another beautiful drive (see photos above and below), with a quick stop at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge, which has a very interesting information center complete with really spectacular views.

We ended up staying in Tok for the night, at the Tok RV Village, which had a very nice cabin available (see below). We did some laundry, washed the car, and as we were getting back to the cabin, the oddest thing happened: right across the way from our cabin, a couple pulled up on a motorcycle and they were the SAME people we had seen over and over on the ferry! They went a different route, over to Skagway and then up to Whitehorse, but somehow we ended up at the same cabins in Tok, right around the same time.
