Re: On our Way to Alaska!!
All,
The trip has been amazing. We had to go Missoula to have the XM fixed in our van before heading north (don't ask). We let from there and headed north on 93. Crossed the border north o Eureka. Had breakfast at a cafe downtown. Bacon tasted good. We made a glorious mistake by not planning our route and headed up to the national parks of B.C. (Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise). It was awesome! The scenery was un believable! We met a guy there who recommended heading west from Jasper and towards Prince George. We continued up to Dawson Creek, got the oil changed at Capitol Ford (recommend them). It's a little weird up here as the Ford garage wouldn't schedule us for a change but got us in within an hour. Anyway, we left there and headed up the road... We are currently bivouaced at the Dawson Peak Lodge. We got a campsite tonight and a lakefront cabin for tomorrow. We figured we'd give VanBearPig a break and do some canoing and maybe a little fishing :a1: . I'll try and resize some of the pics and upload them. We saw 17 bears today!! Thanks for the all of well wishes and if we make it to Anchorage, we'll stop by the leather shop.
regards, Bob and Amy
P.S. - The mosquito stories are ALL true!!!
