The Alaska Highway: Whitehorse to Tok, AK

Yesterday (August 8) we finally crossed the Alaska border. Below is still in Canada, when the sun was shining for us:


Dinner at Buckshot Betty's in Beaver Creek, Yukon, just 30 miles from the US border:


Some of the ridiculous road conditions we've been encountering. This one isn't nearly as bad as some, but you can see the washboard-crappy gravel that jars your teeth enough to give you a headache.


Welcome to Alaska! There was no one around to take our picture, so I used the handy-dandy timer on my camera to take this:

The last bit of sunshine we saw before the rain/clouds last night and today:

  1. Was Buckshot Betty's any good!? Wow, that self-timer picture turned out really well!!

    Okay...so you got to Alaska...now I think it's time for you to home! Not that I miss you or anything...it's, ummm, your plants! Yeah, your plants really miss you and they really want you come home and hang out with them and maybe watch some DQ and get some pizza! :)

    I miss you! (umm, I mean, your plants miss you!)
    Love,
