We planned on stopping and resting before continuing to enter the Canada Border because we were worried that they may only give us 24 hours to get through the Yukon Territory.
To get out of Yukon Territory it's about 897 kilometers (557miles) drive from Canada Border in Beaver Creek to British Columbia. It would have been a long and rush day drive.

Our 2nd Day Travel Journey
Our second day travel journey driving through Canada, we drove 409 miles to Teslin Yukon Territory.

Entering Canada Border
We arrived at the Canada Border around 8:00am. It was busy, we waited there for few minutes before it was our turn and that's when it got interesting. In June, we drove up from Washington to return home to Alaska after we came back from our trip overseas. And now only August and we are traveling again through Canada back to Washington State. It was a big question. Why why why?
We told them the reason why and that we are going to RV fulltime and that we leased our house for a year. They want to see the lease agreement but we couldn't find it anywhere. We called our tenants but they were not answering their phones. We were hoping that they could snap a photo of the lease agreement and send it to us.
A guard said if we could not show them a proof that we rented our house, they would not let us go through. He even went inside our motorhome and look around and said we don't have enough stuff, it doesn't look like we are going to travel for a long time. He asked where are all your stuff? This guard seemed off edge. We gave them all the documentations we have and all the info.
After he left, Joel check one more place where he could have put the lease agreement. Alas he found it.
Another guard came, more pleasant one, and took the lease agreement. Then when he came back he gave us out documentations back as well as a tag to be placed in our dashboard and a piece of paper to turn in to the other side of the border. We need to turn in this paper on or before the date given otherwise we become fugitive. Anyway, After 3 hours of waiting, we were granted a pass through Canada and on the road again.

The roads in Yukon Territory Canada
|
The Roads
The roads through Canada are good except for this one. About one hundred miles from the US/Canada Border in Yukon Territory the roads are paved but rough. It has been the worst road on this trip. There are plenty of cones and flags on the side of the road for warning, but some rough spots doesn't have any. Had to drive slow. So be careful when you plan on driving on this road.
Also, several miles from the border to Alaska, the roads are pretty much the same. We take our time driving on these roads as well.
 |
Scenic view but don't forget to be careful where those flags are.

Beautiful Rest Area in Kluane Lake
Kluane Lake rest area is about 131 miles from the Canada Border in YT. We had to stop here after driving on that rough road. Pretty area to stop and rest for a little bit.

Our 2nd night rest stop
We arrived in Teslin YT around 8:03 pm and decided to stay in an RV park and rest for the night. Yukon Motel and Restaurant and RV park. Their location is so conveniently located just right off the highway before the Teslin bridge. I don't remember how much we paid for the night stay but we had to pitch water from the restroom area. It was alright though, we've managed.

Rest Stop at Continental Divide
Drove about 75.5 miles from Teslin to here and it was10:33 am.
|
 |
This is what's written on this plaque
Continental Divide
You are standing on the continental divide - the ridge line that separates two of the largest river drainages in North America. The Alaska Highway crosses the divide at one of the lowest points. Only humps of sand and gravel separate the west-flowing Swift River from the east-flowing Rancheria River.
Drop a leaf into the Rancheria River to the east and it would float to the Liard River near Watson Lake, continue to the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories and eventually reach the Beaufort Sea (Arctic Ocean); a long journey of 4,200 kilometres (2,650 miles) for our waterlogged leaf.
Drop a leaf into the Swift River to the west and the current would take it to Teslin Lake and the Teslin River. The Teslin flows northwest to the Yukon River which cuts across northern Alaska enroute to the Bering Sea (Pacific Ocean); a journey of 3,680 kilometres (2,300 miles).

We stopped at Northern Rockies Lodge to see if they have available spot for a night. Unfortunately they only have one site available and the location was not that great for us and on top of that the price per night is a little bit high so we continue driving. We knew that Toad River Lodge was only 37.5 miles from here.

Our 3rd night rest stop
We decided to stay at Toad River Lodge since we've been here in our past travels and loved the place. See my other post about this place
Toad River Lodge and RV Park. We got a full hookup for $42 a night. It was a good day drive 363 miles from Teslin to Toad River.
After we got done setting up, we decided to order a Bison burger from the Toad River Lodge restaurant. The burger wasn't all that great, something was off but we all eat it anyway. An hour after we ate our dinner, Joel started to feel hurt. His stomach was hurting so bad. He never had this kind of stomach pain before. He was in excruciating pain. Could it be food poisoning?
We were worried the whole night. Also added to our worries was there is no clinic or hospital nearby. It was a restless night indeed. He took some medicine for the pain and drink lots of fluid.

Arrived at Toad River Lodge and RV Park at 4:21 pm

I tried to drive this motorhome again (I tried it before) but the steering wheel is too sensitive for me. I drove for about 5 miles but driving it way too slow because I was not comfortable at all.

Our 4th night rest stop
We only drove 116 miles today from Toad River Lodge to Triple G Hideaway RV park in Fort Nelson British Columbia, Canada. Joel was not feeling good still and this place was a good spot for us to stop for the rest of the day.
We got a really nice spot and paid $47.25 for one night stay.
 |
The park wasn't that full. I think it's because of Covid-19.

For our fifth night, we decided to stay at Caron Creek RV park about 15 miles pass the town of Chetwynd. We've been here before and this place is always almost full. It's a good park, easy to park the RV and the owner was really nice and friendly. We paid $31.50 for a night. The noise from highway and train didn't bother us at all.

7th Day Travel Journey
Our 7th day driving was our last day travel journey from Alaska through Canada to Washington State. I love the Trans-Canada Highway. Beautiful drive and scenic highway.
We left Clinton before 8:30 am and arrived in Abbottsford Canada Border around 12:30pm.
Joel turned in the Visitor Record to the border security. This was very important because not turning this in will make us fugitive and we cannot enter Canada again.
We drove about 361 miles today from Clinton BC Canada to Birch Bay Washington.
Our Travel Journey from Alaska through Canada ended in Birch Bay Washington. However, another travel journey started from Birch Bay. Stay tuned and come follow us on our journey.
