Dirty Rigs - Cleaning Stop Points?
We're in Whitehorse enjoying Hi Country RV Park. Nice people, and we have a nice back in spot away from the ALCAN. And, free internet now, as they are beefing up their system. They also have a nice...

Hey all - Appreciated the input on the washing, and also the windshield replacement.
We stopped last night at Congdon Yukon Campground, and had a great space overlooking the lake. One of only two, and they are actually a shared access, so would be best with someone you were traveling with. (We were the first ones in the park, and everyone that came in after us, decided it was too tight of quarters to use the other site to get the lake view. Sites 2 and 3...).
Today we pushed on into Tok. Timed it just perfect with the major roadwork on the ALCAN just before the border - following the water truck as he sprayed the dirt road prepping for new surface. We had more muck and dirt then we'd ever seen on the toad, or the sides of the coach - so glad we did not go ahead and wash while in Whitehorse. At Sourdough, and used their wash to clean the toad today, will look around some more before deciding what to do on the RV.
We did some more checking, and had picked Badger Glass to help us. Then thought why not call the Honda Dealer mentioned in Fairbanks - yep, they use Badger Glass too. So, will drive the CRV into Fairbanks in the AM, and Badger Glass will install a new windshield. The DW will make a day of cleaning the inside of the RV, and her and the Dawg will enjoy being away from my bad jokes:)!
I had a very nice talk with Sue yesterday, and she was very kind at making sure we had everything we need for temporary repairs on the windshield. (I used clear packing tape on the outside and inside, and it survived today ride on the roller coaster stretch around Beaver Creek, very well.)
Sue is a good example of what RV'ing is all about. People helping people, while also having a good time, on a common hobby. She's pretty good people, and we hope to meet her on our rebound South.
Best to all,
Smitty
