Tok, Alaska, entry to the interior

There is one way to drive into Alaska from the lower 48, and that is through Tok. One would not think a community of less than 2000 souls would offer much, but in fact it is quite self-sufficient. I'm giving kudos to one business here that really helped us out, and that is Willard's RV, towing, and electric. If it's broken, they can fix it. If it's stuck, they can pull it out. 

I stole this pic because I forgot to take one, and it's from 2010. Don't worry, it looks the same! By the time we arrived in Tok, we'd driven over 100 miles on muddy dirt roads, and here's what we looked like!

Fortunately for us, the RV park we selected had its own hi pressure wash station, and if you filled up your tank at their gas station, you could wash your rig for free. We lined up as we arrived, and must have spent 4-5 hours washing everybody's motorhome and tow car. Then, off to Fast Eddie's for dinner.

Yes, there is a Fast Eddie's in Tok, sister/cousin to the one in Alton, IL for all you who know of it, and they have great food. Not as cheap as in Alton, though!
