Alaska Trip - Day 17

Woke up late (sunny/hot). Drove over to Kluane Park Visitors Center - open this time. Eileen called home. Picked up coffee and some sweet baked goods. Drove to Whitehorse, Teslin via ALCAN. Cathy got a bloody nose and started to throw a fit (she is definitely tired of the car). We stopped for ice cream and chips - that improved the mood. Met an Indian who helped us find our way in the right direction. Found a forest of road signs along the highway. Had mac and cheese for lunch at a Country/Western bar. Guys tried to pick Eileen up - grabbed Cathy by the leg - they came running back to the car. Later, they both fell asleep as I continued to drive the ALCAN. Stopped at hot springs. We took in the extremely hot water - it was not what I expected (definitely an acquired taste). Met a guy named Glenn who was going to hike up into the bush near the hot springs. He said we could borrow his campsite for the night and he left. Ranger woke us up later but when we told him about Glenn he left us alone.
