Yukon Parks is experimenting with allowing tents in July and August at this waterfront campground frequented by Grizzlies in berry season. I watched a grizzly grunt up and onto the Highway about 25 miles earlier on my drive from Tok, AK to Haines Junction, YK. For $CDN 12 I could "enjoy" a good night's sleep inside an electric fenced enclosure far away from the lake front scenery in a grove of newly hacked spruce that reminded me a of clear cut. WTF!? I considered just sleeping in the back of my Honda Element after emptying it of non-bear attractants, like my bike, spare tire, dry bags of tools and tent gear. Knowing that yogi might decide to rip open anything I left out, I decided to drive on to Haines Junction and a hostel bunk bed.
