Howdy to all, I'm sorry for the delay in posting but mostly because of not being able to find wi-fi that was usable. Also no photos tonight as I have not had time to resize them. I will put some on this weekend. Ty, Brenda, & Derek knocked on my door at 5 am June 15th , and for the last 10 days we have been to Valdez, Seward, Homer, and arrived in Denali yesterday afternoon. I have slept most of the day today to catch up.Tomorrow, 6/27 we are booked on an 8hr tour by buss in Denali Natl. park. Hey, I just looked at the time, 12:05am, and I have to be up at 5:30am. We are leaving here Sat. to go to Fairbanks, from there Ty & Brenda are leaving me to head back to the lower 48. I will take some time to work on some photos and post. >>>>>LATER<<<<<

These photos are south of Haines junction, BC. after sundown where I came upon the snow. I was told the next day that it was very unusual for it to snow in June. It was very pretty, and cold, 38 degrees at the time the photos were shot. I spent the night in a pull off along the side of the road. As you can see, it was almost dark from the heavy clouds. The rest of the photos were shot the next morning with a little more light. The way the light was on this mountain made it and the clouds appear silver. Very pretty! This was along side the road coming around a curve. I went by it before I could stop safely, so I turned and came back for the shot. It reminded me of the old line shacks in the western movies, if it only had a couple of horses tied up out front and smoke coming out from the chimney. Beautiful drive! I have been staying at Tok, Ak. catching up on some rest and also waiting on Ty, Brenda, and Derek Martindale to catch up. They should be here tomorrow, Sunday. Not much here and very little to take photos of. I did get the truck and trailer rinsed off. I was going to wash them but only have access to coin type wash at $3.00 for 10 min. It cost $9.00 just to knock off the loose stuff with high pressure. Oh well, things are different away from the big cities. >>>>>LATER<<<<<

Hello folks, I got into Tok, Ak. last night, I think it was night, it was still light out when I went to bed about 11:30 pm. I was one tired puppy. The roads I traveled for 3 days were VERY rough. This photo shows the results of the road condition after traveling through construction sites. If it had not rained they would wet the road until it became muddy to keep the dust down, but some had neither and were very dusty. Most is pavement but lots of frost heaves and dips, and there were some good spots too. So far everything has held together, but I did see a first last night, when I opened the freezer door I found several ice cubes had bounced out of the trays. Anyone coming behind me, "do not come up hwy 37 from Stewart to hwy 1". It took me 12 hours driving time. Most of the way I was from 2 mph to 35 mph. There is no services except one gas station about 150 miles south of hwy 1. Three of us pulled in there at 6:00 pm, two going south and me going north, the woman was closing and would not sell us any fuel. I ran out about 40 miles south of hwy 1, no traffic on this road, it was 48 deg. and raining. There was nowhere to pull off the road so I turned on my flashers and prepared myself to spend the night. In about 1 1/2 hours I saw head lights, it was a construction worker with a tank of fuel in back of his truck. He sold me about 5 gal. I think he was another one of my Angles, they sure do look after me well. It had a good ending, as most things do if you think positive. That was one thing, there are many good ones to over shadow those kind, which I will post as soon as I get the photos ready. I have some good ones to show you. >>>>>LATER<<<<<
