I can't remember when we blogged last, but it's been quite the ride! Jasper ,Alberta was awesome. Ice fields, glaciers bears! Then we had a bunch of elk in our campsite! The road was awesome! Met some very nice folks who are also traveling to Alaska! They were from Florida . They are going a different route then us.
We made it to Dawson creek on Sunday ..mile zero of the Alaska Canada highway. Dust storm city!
Headed to fort nelson and then the liard hot springs. The spring was super hot like 108 in one section and 120 in another that's Fahrenheit! I only put my feet in!
Today we headed toward Yukon Territory and we really enjoyed the ride! Many many bears. We saw one cub climb aa tree!
Mind you we are in the rv when we take pictures of these creatures!
Biggest problem so far( other than being very very homesick) is lack of wi if and cell towers! I miss TECHNOLOGY more than a simple Tv! Yes I have an international plan but it doesn't work if there are no cell towers!
To that end I need to tell you that our children had not heard from us in more than 24 hours except for a message I had texted to Rod as we pulled out of the last civilized campground! So they began to worry...and worry. And then I think they may have been extremely worried as Kristin called the authorities , and on star ( which we also tried to use for a phone call last night without success) ..so by the time we got to the next area of civilization, I turned on my phone and it whistled, beeped, shouted, vibrated and every other thing that you can imagine!
Needless to say we called right away. We found out that we are now grounded!
Good thing we are thousands of miles away!
Well for now I have to sign off as we only have one hour of internet and. I have to Check email and other important things. I did already check my Red Sox UGH!
We are in a little cafte and all the guys are watching the hockey game! We are having the time of ours lives!
Loved reading your blog-your pictures are amazing! Now that we are done traveling, we can get our excitement following your adventure!! Drive safe and keep following your dream-Love, Barbara & Charlie
