We are finally in Alaska!

I'd love to tell you that our arrival in Alaska has been exceptional, but you'll only hear me recount our entry in terms of disbelief. We travelled 111 miles yesterday driving from Dawson City, Yukon to Chicken, Alaska. The road on the Canadian side wasn't half bad; alternating between paved roads and black gravel. When we arrived on the Alaska side, the road deteriorated to red mud which covered our vehicles. About the time we all got settled, the clouds parted and the sun came out - of course! Today, we traveled from Chicken to Delta Junction and were absolutely relieved when we picked up the Alaskan Highway again. It was delightful!!!

So four pictures for you today. You have to see the Top of the World Highway on the American side - Second, you have to see the shape of our vehicles as a result of the drive. Third, a trip of the convoy all lined up in Chicken. Finally, a wonderful shot of a moose and her two calves, hanging out near where we were camped. You have to look at the bright side of every event!
