The Fifth Day

The team hopped into the van and we drove from Million Dollar Falls(by the Dalton Pass) to Mosquito Lake. It looks like there would have been some serious hills in this section of roadway, so we were not too disappointed we would travel in the van. We also crossed the Yukon/British Columbia border, and the Canada/U.S. border later.
	You will just need to take my word for it, but the moon is visible between these two peaks. We skidded to a stop (at 140kph) to get this shot. My version of this photo is not as good. Jerry got this one.
Jerry took the left photo of me as we stopped at at a photogenic point in the Chilkat Pass. You can see the flowers from the other photo in the background. Maybe you can even see Mike's duffel bag? He either left it on the ground here or it blew off the trailer as we set a new land speed record on our way to Mosquito Lake.
	The second complete group photo. The camera can really not do justice to the scenery. From left to right, Dennis, Eugene, Tom P., Mike, Gary, Jerry, Marc, Tom L. and Rick.
The final leg of the bike trip started at about noon on Wednesday. Mike discovered that one of his his duffel bags was missing. He jumped back in the van with Rick and headed back to B.C. to try to find it.  Another traveler located it and he got it back Saturday. Marc had business to attend to so he headed towards Haines to get the ferry early. Now we were the Haines 8.
While Mike and Rick were driving, the rest of us took a lunch break, and then we headed down to get a look at Mosquito Lake. The name seemed pretty appropriate, so we were glad we had not chosen to camp here.
	Along the Chilkoot River, several of us stopped for a Kodak moment. Both of these were taken at the same spot. The photo of Tom P. and Eugene was taken looking South. The nicely framed photo of myself was looking North.
We arrived! Jerry and I traded cameras for a moment so we could take photos of each other by the sign. Gary had dropped off Rick at the ferry, and was waiting for us with the van.
	On the way to the campsite, we stopped for another Kodak moment. This is a photo of the town of Haines with a cruise ship docked in the harbor.
We all seemed to like running water near the campsite. Here is Gary moving in for a closer photo of the stream behind our campsite outside of Haines.
