We really enjoyed our brief stay at the Burwash Landing Resort on Kluane Lake. This is the oldest remaining original lodge along the Alaska Highway, built in the mid 1940s. Also includes old cabins and the largest gold pan in the solar system. We met Australian bicycle kindred spirits Evan and Courtney, traveling from Anchorage to Panama over the next 5 months (!). Just north of Burwash, we encountered a 7-mile stretch of highway under construction, deep gravel and ruts. The US Army likes to claim that the Alaska Highway was built in only 8 months in 1942. Not true. It’s now been 71 years and it STILL isn’t finished! Saw a mama moose and her young twins at the edge of the forest and, somehow, Linda spotted two bald eagles up in the trees beside the highway. Late in the day, we skirted the edge of some thunderstorms and got a little wet. The last 40 miles of today’s ride were into a pretty fierce headwind. By the time we got to White River Campground, where our reserved cabin was waiting, it was 9:30pm and we were beat! The cabin was superb and Amanda, the owner from Ireland, made us feel right at home.
