Denali

Sorry again no pictures but we have arrived in Denali and have gotten set up and settled in and completed most of our training. Will take pictures and post at a later date. We are well and the trip was good for the most part but sure do miss the dog.

Arrived in Alaska

On Thursday May 6th we arrived at the North Pole, Alaska and have settled down for a couple of days to grocery shop and do laundry. Sunday the 9th we will go to Denali National Park and settle down for the summer. It has been a good trip except for the snow and a broken windshield on the coach.

Sign Post Forest

On May 4th we arrived in Lake Watson safely, we took a walk over to the sign forest and put one of our old license plates on one of the poles. So after 5 years we have left our mark on the sign forest in Canada. It was a good day travelling we got to see Caribou, Big Horn Sheep, a Black Bear, a Grizzle Bear, some Bison, a couple of mother moose with yearlings, and a wolf, and we have not even got to Alaska yet.

Yes it snow

Yea Yea that right we found snow in Canada. On Monday the 3rd of May we got caught in a snow storm. We were half way between Fort Nelson and Toad River (where we planned on spending the night), and we had to stop at a rest stop with alot of truck drivers. We spend 18 hours there, (from 2 p.m. till 9 a.m.) then in the morning the snow plow trucks showed up and plowed the road, they were still very icy but we went on with care and made it to Watson Lake. As you can see from the pictures it was a beautiful sun rise. It is always adventure coming to Alaska.

Travels to Alaska

Sorry no pictures but we left Michigan on Wednesday the 28th and have travelled thru Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and have stopped in Minot North Dakota for the night. Tomorrow we will cross over into Canada and begin the long trek across that country. We will meet up with Gene & Inez Ennis in Edmonton Alberta and continue on with them. They ran into snow this morning in Wyoming. We have not seen any snow but it did rain on us most of today. Traveling seems strange without our beloved Mariah. Will post more when we can get internet.

Bridal Shower

Yesterday Alexis and I went to a bridal shower for my cousin's daughter. It was odd as it seems like yesterday she was a baby and now she is a grown woman and will be getting married in July. The shower was fun and I got to see family I had not seen in a long time.
