Typical Alaska Greeting by the mosquitos

A mountain goat with a newborn kid - hard to see, but I promise it is there.

Who has the right-of-way here anyway?

Alaska - WE MADE IT!

Tuesday, May 16, 2017, by Jolene:  It’s a SUNNY morning!  YEAH!!  We could make it to Anchorage today if we really pushed it, but decided to take two days to it.  So we are letting the camper dry out real good this morning since it was quite damp and wet last night when we crawled in, after the rainy night the night before.  We did some computer work at the McDonald’s right here before we packed up and took off again.  By Roger:  We had a hard time packing up because people kept stopping by to admire our camper and ask about it.  One man who lives there said he was on the Steward – Cassair highway just a few weeks ago, and the highway is 480 miles long and he only passed 11 cars the entire time.  There are not many vehicles there (a number of trucks), but we saw more than 11.  We continued on to Alaska, stopping in Tok to set up and make dinner.  We saw a few mosquitos in BC at one park we stopped to fill up with some water, but that was the ONLY time the entire trip.  I guess it is too cold – but that was a nice surprise.  In Tok we did have mosquitos, the large Alaska size ones!  We drove until later than night and stopped before Glennallen at a pull-off next to a river.  The mosquitos were quite abundant.  The last several days we saw a good bit of wildlife, more bears, caribou, moose, badgers, foxes, mule deer, mountain goats (one with small kid), and an elk or two.  We drove 491 miles today.
