WE MADE IT TO ALASKA!

Leaving our beautiful, peaceful campsite was a hard move to make this morning…especially when you’re heading towards a place called “Destruction Bay.  Originally this place, which is a small town, was a construction camp for the building of the Alaskan Highway. The name was given to the town for a severe windstorm that occurred in the 1940’s.  Actually, it’s a beautiful place because it’s not far from Kluane Lake, where we stayed last night.  Our hesitation in heading that direction is the condition of the highway.  There are so many dips in the road that it causes you to go up and down and it also makes you rock sideways too.  In a motor home it gets a little scary at times. 

Hard to show the true rippling effect in the road.  The telephone poles should be a clue that somethings not right with this road!

.  However, the good news is that… after all that rocking…we crossed the border into “Alaska!” 

No border problem either.

We’re staying at the small town called “Tok.”   We need to stay in one place for a few days to catch up on laundry, relaxing and checking out the local attractions. We will always remember this place because 5 years ago we received a phone call from our son Brian that his wife Katie was pregnant.  Bill got the phone call and I was in the grocery store.  He told Brian to call back in 10 minutes because he thought I might  make a scene in the grocery store...and I did….but outside the store.
