Tarfu Lake, Atlin Road to Whitehorse, Yukon
18 September 2015 - Friday
It was overcast and raining this morning. The original plan had been to enjoy the day at Tarfu Lake, but it was too wet. So we headed out. There was a delay at the first construction zone - a truck hit a bridge and we had to wait until they got the truck clear of the bridge.

Once the truck was clear, we crossed the narrow bridge too.

It was still raining, but we figured we'd check the Snafu Lake campground.
Entrance to Snafu Lake campground on the Atlin Road
There weren't too many campsites that would have fit our rig. We turned and hit the road again.

The construction zones were wet and yucky.

Despite the rain, the colours were nice.

Then back at Tagish Road deciding which way to turn.

We turned right to head to the Alaska Highway.
The rain clouds remained thick and low

In Whitehorse, we drove down Robert Service Blvd to downtown.

Drove through town then back to the highway, heading home.

We carried on along the Alaska Highway, looking forward to getting home.
