It’s day 65 of our Alaska RV trip and we are getting to Haines, AK today.

Fran dropped her phone six days ago, in Chetwynd, BC and the touch screen is only partially working. (See 2019 RV Trip—Alaska, part 5.)We finally succeeded in downloading the pictures to the computer, so now we can pick up the replacement and return the broken phone.

Haines, Alaska

We get up early and fill-up with fuel in Haines Junction, YT. It is overcast and raining, but it’s a beautiful drive above the timberline, with snowy mountains in the background. We stop along the way to take pictures. We have no issues crossing the border. The scenery changes—now we are driving through a bald eagle preserve, beside a river.

It’s Memorial Day weekend and we have reservations for four nights at Oceanside RV Park. As the name implies, the park is right on the water. We can watch cruise ships go by. There is a craft beer fest going on and we got the last available spot. Unfortunately, the beer fest tickets are sold out.

Fran gets her replacement iPhone. There is Verizon Wireless service here, but only 3G. We have a strong signal, but no cellular data, and poor voice. Fran needs to update her phone. People tell us that AT&T works much better here. We go to the Bamboo Room restaurant for lunch, and use their WiFi. The next day we go to the public library, and use their WiFi, but her phone is still not restored.

Haines is a small, friendly town. We walk around town. There is a brewery (Haines Brewing Company), a distillery (Port Chikoot Distillery) , and lots of good restaurants. We go to the American Bald Eagle Foundation and see live birds, and stuffed animals. They have many presentations throughout the day. We hear about Sea Otters, Eagles, Moose and Beavers.

There are two seafood packing companies here. We drive to Haines Packing Company and buy some frozen King and Dungeness Crab. We walk to Dejon Delights packing company and buy some vacuum-sealed smoked salmon. Everything tasted great.

On day 67, we drive the car up to the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve trail and take the 2.5 mile out-and-back trail. We spot an eagle nest, with an eagle in it.

We notice that the brake pads are hot and make a crunching noise. We go to a car wash and try to get the caked-on mud from the wheels. It helps a little.

Juneau, AK

On day 68, we take the Alaska Fjordlines Charter to Juneau. This all day boat trip leaves Haines at 8:30AM and returns at 7:30PM. On the trip down and back, we see whales, sea lions, harbor seals and eagles. The boat drops us off and a bus takes us to downtown Juneau. We have four hours to walk around Juneau.

Juneau is the capitol of Alaska, and it is land-locked—you can only get there by boat or air. We walk around, and go to the Red Dog Saloon for lunch. This is a busy, fun place. The bartenders are dressed from the gold rush days and there a piano player.

Downtown Juneau is filled with lots of people from cruise ships., We walk around and read the placards, buy a t-shirt and look at some of the historical buildings.

The bus picks us up and we get on the boat. Great, great trip! Well worth the cost.

Congdon Creek

On day 69, we leave Haines, go back through British Columbia and Yukon. We stop at Congdon Creek in Yukon.

Collision

On day 70, we are waiting in line at US customs on the Alaskan Highway. There is an RV in front of us. It starts backing-up. I blow the horn, but it keeps on coming and hits us. The driver comes out and starts yelling that we drove into her. She says she wasn’t even in the driver’s seat—she failed to put it in park. Fortunately, the damage is only cosmetic.

We get to Tok. We have Verizon wireless service here. So, we stop and call our insurance company to report the accident. Then we stop at a liquor store, a gas station and a grocery store. We drive on for a while

We drive to Moon Lake State Recreation SIte, just past Tok. This is a beautiful campground, but we are not in the mood to enjoy it.

The next day, we are in a better mood. On the way to Fairbanks, we stop in Delta Junction, AK. First we stop at the Delta Meat and Sausage Company and buy some Elk sausage and buffalo bratwurst.

Then we stop at the visitors center and get a certificate that says we made to the end of the Alaskan Highway. We have been on the road for 70 days, driven 6,900 miles, spent $3,500 on gas, $1,700 on campgrounds and we are almost to Fairbanks…
