Tok, Alaska - Clearwater Creek State Park, Alaska

Day 17 – Monday, August 15 2005
Tok, Alaska – Clearwater Creek State Recreation Area, Alaska
Miles Driven: 122

We stopped in Tok to restock on all the essentials; gas, food, booze, and ice, then continued down the Alaska Highway. After the long tense drive on the Taylor Highway the day before, we were taking it easy. A black bear crossed the road in front of us but he didn’t stick around for a photo op. We stopped at a reindeer meat shop and bought some reindeer sausage. About noon we stopped for the night at Clearwater Creek State Recreation Area, about eight miles off the highway, and found a nice shady spot. We cooked a great meal in the dutch oven using fresh chicken we bought in Tok, and the reindeer sausage.
