How long are you going to be up in Alaska Bob? Going to need sweaters for the girls?

Not sure exactly how long but we won't be here for winter haha. My sister just asked me the jacket question too haha. My girls are tuff :). Besides, they sniff the air and if too cold, they refuse to go out...sweater or no sweater. They both have learned they can jump up on the bed and crawl under the blankets too.

Got to appreciate that fuel mileage, Bob. As I suspected, you would meander across the southwest and up the west coast enjoying the scenery and fishing and be kicked back in Alaska before I could get finished up with VA and get outta Texas. Still have a month to go it appears so we need more pictures :)

Hi Bob,
Did you drive from Teslin to Tok in one day? Did you stop by Whitehorse? May I ask where you stayed in Tok? Thanks.

No, I drove Teslin to just about Haines Jct, place called Otter Creek.  I did go into Whitehorse, had planned on staying a couple days but just too crowded for me, so didn't stop.  In Tok, I parked behind the Chevron station at the turn for the Tok Cut off.

Copper River Valley and the Wrangell Mountains.  Having lived up here for 14 years, I almost feel like I've come home.
