Haines Junction

Short drive today so we wouldn’t have to split the next section of the trip.  And, hopefully no (less) rain.

Haines Junction is at the intersection of the Haines Highway and the Alaska Highway.  Basically the connection between the ocean (outside world in 1890’s and later, 1940’s) and the interior.  Now it is just an intersection with a few services and some POI’s.

03 Village Bakery

 

Another excellent bakery.

 

 

 

 

“Monument” at intersection.  Locals call it ‘The Muffin’.

How’s this for recycling army surplus?

 

 

 

People in the US and especially the lower 48 have no reason to complain of high prices.
