WEATHER: Beautiful. Sunny. High around 70
Today was very relaxing. We took our time in the morning, getting ready to go, and enjoying coffee. We drove only about 100 miles. Most of the way were terrible road conditions again. We followed Kluane National Park.
We stopped at a gas station/bar/motel/RV park/grocery. I needed some eggs. They were $6/dozen! And small! Since everything has to be brought in, things are very expensive.
We stopped at a campground that faces Kluane Lake, the largest in the Yukon. Our site is right on the lake. Gorgeous view!
We took a hike along the lakeshore. There are signs all over warning about bears. There are thousands of soapberry bushes here, which the bears love. They don't allow tent camping due to fear of bears entering tents. The bears get so numerous in a few weeks, when the soapberries are at their peak, that they close the campground altogether.
This is the view of our site from the lakeshore. (About 9:00 PM)
Our neighbors are a nice couple from Hawaii. Every year, they fly to the mainland, pick up an RV they leave here, and travel for 4-5 months. We sat around the campfire for cocktails.
DINNER: I boned the leftover grilled chicken thighs, and made a sort of Indian curry. I added a baked sweet potato, onions, and carrot. I served it over rice with curry powder.
