Not a Drop of Gas to be Bought

This morning, we couldn't find a gas station in Whitehorse that would accept either the debit or credit cards. Other people (with Canadian issued cards) could get all the gas they wanted. We were finally able to get gas at a aconvenience store about five miles out of town. We still don't have any cell phone service.

When we went through customs about 40 miles from Haines, the officer said he is planning to visit his aunt Minnie Hightower in Titusville this summer!

We were heading south toward Haines when we saw an overturned car and several people trying to hook a cable to it to tow it out of the ditch.

We got to Haines about 2 p.m. and stopped at the visitor center. I walked a block up the hill to the library to swap three books and to use a ccomputer. After my hour was up, I returned to the RV. Then I went up the other hill about a block to Main Street to do some shopping and to stop at the IGA for a gallon of milk, then out the back door and down a flight of steps into the parking lot a block from the RV. A cruise ship was in town so all the stores were open.

We decided to stay at a campground along the waterfront. After we set up and ate dinner, that group of cousins went down the road behind us! We could tell it was them because they each had a bandana tied to the passenger side mirror.
