Day 51 and 52 The Beginning of Vacation’s End

(Do retirees really call it vacation?)

Nabesna Rd, AK to Kluane Lake, YK to Continental Divide, YK

640-miles

Thursday and Friday, August 19th and 20^th

We are now heading east and retracing our Alaska Highway route from Tok, AK to Watson Lake, Yk.

No touring at Whitehorse – grocery stop only!

Signs of Fall are now in the air.

The Cottonwood Cmpgrd on Kluane Lake has had frost and new snow in the nearby Mountains.

Kluane Lake - The leaves are changing color too!

Cute but we didn't buy it.
