From Talkeetna, we drove north toward Denali National Park. We were not able to see the actual Denali peak, as it was overcast and cloudy that day. It is said that you can only see it 25-30% of the time. We did drive through the park, as far as you can go, which is only…

Ok, where did we leave off? This will be a long one. I believe we had just gotten to Ninilchik and had visited Homer. We moved camp a little down the road to Halibut Campground (I want to remember this one), where there were so many bald eagles on the beach! They let us get…

Kenai Lake is beautiful! We kayaked a couple of days and met some wonderful neighboring campers. Garry is making them some tip-up alerts to show to all of their ice fishing friends. They are hopefully sending us some salmon in return. Garry fished for salmon on the Russian River (in shorts and sneakers while everyone…

We traveled from Palmer to Anchorage, where we got an oil change and did a little grocery shopping, then started to make our way down the Kenai Peninsula. The scenery from Palmer to Anchorage is beautiful, as is most of what we have seen so far! This is what a lot of the last part…

Wow, this drive was spectacular! The southwest corner of the Yukon is gorgeous! Kluane Lake and the surrounding area is amazing! A day of stunning views and beautiful mountains! Past Burwash Landing, the road (which has been incredibly good so far) turns into a rollercoaster of avoiding potholes created by the frost heaves. No wildlife…

Today was a sunnier day, though we did get a few sprinkles. We traveled through the southern part of the Yukon Territory, which passes through Whitehorse, the capital and the general area where over 2/3 of the entire population of the Yukon Territory reside. Population roughly 26,000 in Whitehorse alone (entire Yukon Territory is roughly…

Day 3 on the Alaska Highway took us to the Yukon, where we visited Watson Lake, where the famous Sign Post Forest lives. Miss Lilly painted our sign for us (which got a little messed up when we sprayed it with protectant) and we hung it for all to see – please stop by and…

Above is where we traveled today! The scenery was much more beautiful than the rest of the trip, but the many many pictures I took do not do it justice. We saw our first bear! … and bighorn sheep with babies 🙂 …and some buffalo. It was a bit of a rainy day today, but…

Today we made our way to Dawson Creek, British Columbia, which is mile marker 0 of the Alaska (Alcan) Highway! We ended up at Pink Mountain to camp for the night. Though there were many signs warning us to be aware of wild animals near the road, we saw none. Well, we sadly did see…

Spent the night in Claresholm last night and made our way northwest to Sangudo, Alberta. Mostly farmland and a little forested area. Pretty but not too exciting. Stanley Cup Finals game 6 is in happening in Edmonton tonight so watching it at the campground and you can hear the campers erupt in cheers when Edmonton…
