Haines to Cottonwood RV Park, Yukon


July 1, 2013

Canada Day!!!!  Great fun that we are actually IN Canada on this festive day.  The RV Park (Cottonwood RV Park on Destruction Bay, Yukon) is GREAT!  I would suggest a dry site (without hookups) near the lake.  It is storming tonight, and the initially gentle lapping of waves has been replaced by foamed fury—nights like this, I am THRILLED to be in an RV versus tent.
Oh, please mark on your maps—Hwy 3 from Haines to Haines Junction—“definite drive!”  Didn’t take any pictures as it was raining most of the journey, but even that didn’t distract from the landscape—first above the tree line and then back down into alpine forest.  Matt and I wanted to play in some of the left over winter snow, but again, the rain was a deterrent.
The water at Destruction Bay—glacial tan (silt) to aqua to deep clear blue--
The water is so clear!  See the aqua color in the background?

Well poo...this doesn't show the color of the water well...it is beautiful however--smiles!

Thought you might enjoy seeing our home at Cottonwood--
Our home from the mini-golf course (one of Matt's favorite games)

From the inside of our home (screened back door) looking onto the lake before the storm.
