Teslin Lake Yukon Government Campground Teslin, Yukon, Canada

Mileage:  47,489

To leave Skagway you must travel out on the road you came in on.  Today was bright and sunny with blue skies and so this ride was a pleasure.  We made our way north back through the odd rock formations that remind me of scenes from Planet of the Apes or Lord of the Rings.

And such beauty…

Back through customs and into Canada.

A medium sized black bear bounded across the road in front of us.

The wildfire in Carcross is still burning.  It had moved another ½ mile south in the days that we were in Skagway.

We headed east on the Alaska Highway.  We crossed the Teslin River Bridge.

We camped at the Teslin Lake Yukon Government Campground.  By the end of the afternoon it was full.  We are thinking that most people are headed south before the weather turns.  This campground has a path down to the lake.

Tonight, we are burning moose poop.  In a gift shop we had seen moose poop firestarter for sale in small bags for $5.75.  On our walk we passed by a pile of nice dry poop nuggets and we decided to give it a try.  It works!

Tim saw this sign yesterday and he had been thinking of it.
