Destination Bay

Today we were back on the road and our next destination, Destruction Bay….located on the shores of Kluane Lake, Destruction Bay is one of several towns that grew out of the building of the Alaska Highway. It earned its name when a storm destroyed buildings and materials here. Destruction Bay was one of the many relay stations spaced at 100 mile intervals to give truck drivers a break and a chance to repair their vehicles. A repeater station was also located here providing telephone and telegraph service. Our trip took a little longer than expected because some of the roads were pretty messy with lots of gravel. Lee drove very carefully along these roads, not like others who raced by and caused a piece of gravel to hit and make a little crack in the windshield😥. But the scenery was amazing…the beautiful Kluane Lake and the snow capped mountains. At one point we were able to see The Hubbard mountain settled between the Kluane Mountain Range. I was able to take some really nice pictures!

This is making us excited about Alaska….and you know what???? Tomorrow is the day we arrive in Alaska! Woohoo!
