Back on the Alcan

We left Glenallen and drove 430 miles back to Haines Junction. This is where we saw snow on our way up. This is our furthest we have driven on this trip so far. Once we drove 140 miles, we arrived back in Tok which is back on the Alaska Highway. We are now back tracking the way we came in. We will drive the remainder of the Alaska Highway to Dawson Creek, another 1000 miles, before we veer off to visit friends in Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada. Today was the best weather we have seen in sometime. We left at 7:45 with 49 degrees and it soon warmed up to the mid 60s.

Seeing this mountain early morning, we couldn't quite tell if it was strictly a cloud or a mountain. As we approached it, shrouded in the cloud, we realized it was indeed a mountain.

We thoroughly enjoyed watching this cow moose in the pond. (Do you know the plural of moose?) Moose eat plants and twigs. They have 4 stomachs like a cow. They regurgitate and chew their cud just like a cow. This beauty is eating plants on the bottom of the pond. She had her head under water so long, I had to honk my horn in order to get her to lift her head for a great photo.  The plural of moose is...moose.

We went through customs and re-entered the Yukon.

We passed by Destruction Bay on our way to Alaska, but we missed this message board, so here it is now.

Though we have previously passed this mountain and photographed it, the sun was helping to illuminate it so we couldn't resist.

Till Tomorrow!
