Day 10 (07/18) - Cont Divide to Whitehorse YT

Create What I Need From What I Have, Wisely

A few months before starting this trip I often “dry run” the journey in my head. With the information I collected, I imagined how the trip would take place and how I would feel on the road. I imagined the possible problems I might encounter and tried to come up with possible solutions. Driving alone was not my first choice but I determined to turn it to my advantage.

While traveling, there are unexpected situations that required immediate solutions. With limited resources, I found it is challenging and interesting to create what I need from what I already have, wisely. I know at the end of this journey I will have better surviving skills that I would not otherwise learn from my comfortable modern living.


Leave Continental Divide Campground where I stayed last night.












Beautiful fireweed - the frist sign of life after forest fire













Lake front lodge of Dawson Peak Resort














Turnout near Teslin












Teslin River Bridge at a distance












Have a terrific late lunch at Mukluk Annie's. A family run friendly restaurant offers good and reasonable price food.












A "Rib and Salmon" dinner enough to feed three












Close up of the delicious meal - I will take out leftover for tomorrow












Head to Whitehorse after lunch
