Starting the day off right - we decided to shower (for the border crossing!) but the campground showers charge $2 Canadian for 2 minutes, plus we would have had to walk up to office and we are camped at the lower campground close to the dog park. So it's time to initiate the RV shower! We managed pretty well, didn't flood the RV, but did hate the clinging shower curtain! The water is really hot, so had to be careful about that - not much room to jump if you are being scalded! So being fresh, we are ready to reenter USA! One more good run for Sara on the airfield and we are on the road. Drove a short distance into Beaver Creek, the last "town" in Canada (about 6 businesses and the tourist info center). We stopped to use the internet at the tourist center, and it turned out to be fastest connection we've experienced since Calgary! Will have to make a note of that! Linda chatted with a newlywed couple from France, who got a tandem bicycle with trailer for their wedding gift, and were biking from Anchorage, via Fairbanks all the way to Mexico!!  And they were asking if we had seen any bears!  Seems like the least of their challenges and certainly made our adventure seem wimpy!  I finished our blog, then drove on about 10 more miles to the border. The sign comes first (see pic) and then you come to border crossing. It was rush hour (3:15pm) so we waited behind 5 other cars and RV's with only 1 border guard working - this time she wanted usual passports and Sara's papers, but also registration for vehicle. Then questions about firearms and finally if we bought any fruit - I can't tell you my answer, but let's say we paid too much for bing cherries to give them up!  But we're destroying the evidence tonight by eating them quickly. We held off buying gas in Canada since we heard it was cheaper in US, but when I stopped at Border City (one gas station), gas was $3.65 US/gallon - so much for savings!!  I also celebrated the border crossing with packs of Peanut M&M's for our accomplishments!!   We then stopped for lunch at Deadman Lake, Alaska.  It was a gravel road about 1.5 miles off the highway, leading into a very private hidden lake and campground.  We parked for lunch and were greeted by the campground host!  We enjoyed a sunny lunch there, but also met swarms of gnats that made us eat very quickly.- I may not be seeking waterfront campgrounds after this!  Now back on the Alaska Highway - we've noticed the roads are patched at more frequent, shorter intervals, often using that awful tar and gravel, but fortunately not long areas of gravel.  We did learn that the "undulations" in the road are called "Frost Heaves" - a term we never had occasion to use, but good for a trivia question!  We gained another hour in Alaska, so we're now 4 hrs behind Atlanta.  We rolled into the south side of Tok, Alaska to  Tok River State Park about 5:30pm AT.  It's a deal at $20 US per night.  Unfortunately, there is a big graduation party going on at the pavilion, and there were cars blocking the roads.  Fortunately, 2 people came out to move them so I could get through - a very tight squeeze!  We found a pull through campsite, but no hookups.  On our first walk around the campsite, I met a guy who was travelling with his 19yr old son in a Toyota with a rooftop tent.  He told of coming back from Prudhoe Bay (way up north of the Artic Circle) where he had collected caribou antlers to use for carving when he got back home to Minnesota.  He was worried about customs since they searched him quite thoroughly on entry to Alaska since he carried 2 firearms and was a retired policeman.  I told him we got in with the cherries, but had to eat them immediately!  Then we met some of the kids from the graduation party who were on the riverfront - they were in shirt sleeves and walking in the edge of the water - you'll see us in the pictures with jackets and hoods!  But this little kid wanted to pet Sara, and told how he has a team of 6 huskies plus 2 house dogs - he tells us he has placed first in the dog sled contest last year, his first attempt at competition!  It's a different world here!  Now we need to figure out where we go next!
