Alaska Trip - Day 6

Cathy woke us with cries about a spider bite. Frosted flakes for breakfast - yaah! Headed out on the gravel road (Cassiar Highway). Ran into some construction after a few hours of driving. Talked to the flag girl - she was from Prince George. Eileen called her mom near Dease Lake. We stopped again at Simmons Lake. Cathy and Eileen wanted pictures on the Teslin Bridge - even walked sock footed out to the middle! Cathy then dragged Eileen around the next gas station. I think it is a sister thing... Saw rainbow just before Haines Junction. Had to borrow can opener for some lunch. Hit Alaska-Canada (ALCAN) Highway near Watson Lake. Missed a speeding ticket near Whitehorse (whew...). Passed Kluane Park visitor center just after dark - closed (maybe on the way back?). We are staying in the Cottonwood Campground in Kluane, Yukon. Eileen is enjoying the frigid weather.
