We said goodbye to our beautiful campsite (and two resident ducks the boys were enamored with) and headed to Tok. Tok is the last Alaskan town before the Canadian border which is still approximately 120 miles away. When we last went though three years ago it was pretty busy even for September but this time it was so quiet. W
e grabbed lunch at Fast Eddy’s and then quick stopped at Tok RV Village & Cabins to ask them if they would be willing to print out a form for us. Very friendly business! We are still in the process of finding a place to live in Washington and were so thankful they let us use their printer so we could put in an offer on a home!
Since we have limited time to travel through Canada (and especially the Yukon Territory) we wanted to stay as close as possible to the border. We drove past Tok and set up camp in the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge Deadman Lake Campground. Super buggy but you get to stay right in the Taiga forest. The Taiga forest is also called a Boreal forest which is very boggy, mossy, and contiains mostly old stunted Black Spruce trees.
Even though it was raining that didn’t stop the kids. They ride their bikes on the well maintained interpretive trail and search for blueberries!
