Back to Haines Junction


From Haines Junction, enroute to Haines
Much to our delight, the road from the Alaskan Border to Haines Junction in the YT has been repaired, and this 120 miles of the road goes almost twice as fast as when we were last here in June heading west.

While Bob pulls over on the Alaskan Highway, I jump out, camera in hand, and get some pictures which we missed on the way out. This interesting statue of wild-life is more or less right at the junction leading to Haines, AK, and makes for some good photo taking. Bob patiently waits as I take a few photos from each angle, including the little park across the street. It gives a good shot of the Popeye Express.

After almost completing the Alaskan Highway, doesn't Popeye still look good?

Signs in this little park show what we are looking at. The mountains are magnificent!

One more border crossing and we're back in the US - Haines Alaska, here we come!
