Leaving the Yukon – Juneau bound

The time has come for us to leave the Yukon. This is the last time we will cross that border and our last glimpse of this wonderful Canadian Territory.  The next time we are in Canada will be in Southwest British Columbia.

We spent our last night in the Yukon Territory at a boondocking site near Destruction Bay It was a beautiful glacial riverbed with views of the snowy Kluane Mountain Range. Along the way we ran into some travelers that we have been leapfrogging with since way back in October! Here is a photo of us with Perky Mog!

We sat in line to board our first Alaskan Ferry, bound for the Inside Passage. We planned to weave through this unique part of Alaska which is connected only by ferry or plane. We would see Juneau, Sitka and Petersburg and end our ferry route in Saint Rupert, Canada.

While waiting to drive on to the ferry, Mike decided he wanted to put the steering wheel on straighter and tighten it up to remove a little rattle.  Only in a VW……….

Riding a ferry on the Inside Passage is said to be a “poor man’s cruise.”
