Summer Adventure 2018 Day 69

This morning we are going in different directions.We went toward home while Bill and Pam went toward Seattle. We've spent 62 days travelling together all the way from Alaska's smallest town, Chicken, to its largest city, Anchorage with all sorts of fun and interesting exploits all around the state and some of Canada, too. I imagine if you are reading this, you have already read about the things we've done on this adventure.

Our trip is south on 97, 97C, 5A and 97 again before reaching the US border crossing at Oroville. We were on the steepest descent we had during the entire trip, 10%. An interesting place we passed had the look of Destin Beach, white sand and beautiful water, but there were large pipes and heavy equipment nearby. Then we drove by a sign for Highland Valley Copper Mine and we don't know if it was natural or a by-product of the mining. Maybe I will do a little research.

At the border crossing one RV was pulling away and another was just ahead of us. Both of them pulled to the side and a border patrol officer boarded. We also had an officer come aboard and check our refrigerator for forbidden fruit. Both officers we spoke with were quite friendly and one even told us where to watch for the signs to the RV park we were headed. We may have missed it, not expecting it to be so near the border.
