Friday at noon we actually arrived in Alaska! The road from destruction bay into the USA was horrible! At one point we figured out we had gone 115 miles in nearly 4 hours! BUT we saw some of the most spectacular views!
First we saw the grizzly wandering in the middle of the highway playing with a plastic bag! Ugh we have to be more responsible with our garbage! We saw lots of black bear that day as well! We kept seeing signs for moose, sheep, and caribou but no actual animals!
We did stop to assist 2 guys who were stranded. We took their information and we stopped at the next town to alert a tow company ! We had the KM post, area.,make of truck, what was wrong with the truck and they dispatched a truck to go get them. Another time another lifetime we may have offered a ride, but not now! I had my baseball bat on the ready! Sad how things have changed! Anyway...
The rv was rattling and bumping all over the road, we both agreed it was the worst Drive/ride ever!
Our stop in Tok was nice quiet campground that had a car wash! Dave was thrilled to wash the truck! I ran the vacuum in the coach to try to rid it of some dust! We did a little organizing of stuff in compartments .... Everything was covered in dust! All worth it ...because we made it to Alaska!
Sourdough pancake tossing contest! We didn't win!
A beautiful ride yesterday through snow capped mountains! 2 moose,lots of curvy roads!
Today is a new day with new adventures, we are heading towards Homer and plan to spend the month of June there! I think the first week will be total relaxation and unwinding!
More later!
