Entering the 49th State

The last night in Whitehorse we had some havy showers.When we moved on in the morning, it was cloudy but dry.When we got to the area around the Kluane Lake,the road-constraction zone started,first 15km,the next 20km,and nothing but gravel and mud.We had put the cover over the windshield of the tracker. We wanted to drive to Burwash Landing,but it did not look very pleasent.Next one was 40 miles further and there was a sign: Closed for the season. So we finally had to drive all the way to Beaver Creek,one mile before the Alaskan Border,and 280 miles since Whitehorse. As we got out of our motorhome,we could not believe our eyes.The Tracker was completly covered in mud,windows,lights,everything.The motorhome was not much better,and no carwash anywhere. We hosed douwn the Tow-car a little at the RV-park anyway.But now we had to cross the border as messy as that,but all the other motorhomes and cars looked just as bad. Border-crossing was easy and we where on the way to Tok. It took us more then 2hours to pressure-wash our motorhome and car,so you could see again,what colour it was.
