After a week on the road we decide to take a break in Tok. While not a metropolis, nor even the outskirts of one, Tok does have many of the services we require. There is a grocery store; friendly, well stocked and unbelievably expensive (Tok is located at the far eastern edge of Alaska, about 90 miles from the Yukon border). There is a Laundromat; located at the fancy RV Park across the highway, where, for only $7.00 (No Canadian Quarters - They Jam the Machines) we can wash and dry a load of clothes (we have 3 loads - compressed to 2 - our whites are now grays). There is a very nice visitor's center with useful information on Anchorage and points south and a paved bike trail for Joe. And, finally, there is a restaurant, known as Fast Eddies, that has very good food prepared without mosquitoes, flies, gnats, ash or sand.
After two days in Tok, we are ready to tackle the traffic, noise and urban clutter associated with any sizable city; tomorrow we go to Anchorage.
