Saturday we left Valdez to begin the trek south. I guess our "semiwaterproof" skins are showing we are in search of more sun. We crossed the Canadian border at Beaver Creek and decided to put in for the night there. The park we stayed at was not worth mentioning but the Visitor Center across the highway staffed by a friendly French Canadian "Giselle" was most helpful although planned next destination was Boya Provincial Park in British Columbia. The most important piece of information that Giselle gave us was that we were underestimating the distance to B.C. and we should think about an interim stop. What we didn't realize was that driving was going to be slower than what we were use to. We had been experiencing some frost heaveing and we were going to be seeing a lot more. The vistas for the drive from Beaver Creek were spectacular reminding us of Highway 50 across Nevada, but with small trees.
As luck would have it our "interim" stop turned out to be such a great spot we stayed and extra day. Just past the town of Teslin on Teslin Lake we found Dawson Peaks Resort Owned, built & operated by David Hett and Carolyn Allen this is a beautiful spot on Morley Bay. David and Carolyn appealed to our "do-it-yourself" attitude in designing and building a place that fits in well with all the comforts, built in a conscientious manner. for anyone thinking about traveling the Alaskan Highway I highly suggest a stop here.
