Frost heaves, a glacier, and RadioShack!

Leaving the Alaskan Highway today at Tok, we took the Tok Cutoff to the Glenn Highway. More rough road – frost heaves made for a very bumpy ride. But it was worth it because at The Hub of Alaska is the last Radio Shack! Alas, we had to say goodbye and continue on our journey. […]

Alaska!

Started off the morning still in the Yukon Territory, Canada. Stopped in at Pine Valley Bakery and Creperie for (you guessed it) – cinnamon rolls! I think this must be an Alaska Highway tradition. We also had a yummy maple crepe. We crossed the boarder into Alaska at 12:30 with no problems. WE MADE IT! […]

Another chip in the windshield

Back on the road again but much rougher today. Beautiful, unexpected scenery and a huge crack in the windshield – oh well, it’s only crack #4! Lake Kluane is the largest lake in the Yukon, and we were surprised by the salt flats and winds off in the distance. Stopped for the night in Destruction […]

Whitehorse and vicinity

After 4 days on the road, we decided to stay put for a day and explore the area by car and bike. We drove to the small town of Carcross to see the little locomotive Duchess, which the Disneyland mine train and Thunder Mountain train used as a model. Then we drove the car to […]

A quiet day, ending at the Resort

Visited the Watson Lake Sign Post Forest this morning before we left. It was amazing how many signs people have put up and from all over the world. Heard a fellow American traveler apologizing to a traveler from Finland for Trump’s behavior! Can’t believe it’s come to that, but sadly it’s true. Stopped at the […]

Best day yet!

The day started off right with yummy cinnamon rolls – big & sticky! Lots of wildlife sightings throughout the day – we saw stone sheep, bison, moose, and a black bear. Drove by Muncho Lake, stopped at Liard River Hotsprings, left British Columbia and entered the Yukon. Stopped for the night at Downtown RV Park […]

A good travel day!

Left Coffee Creek RV Park in the morning in the rain and wind! While not pleasant, we managed to drive out of it and into the sunshine in a couple of hours. Coco even found a good spot on the dash to nap in the sun. We stopped in Fort Nelson for lunch and stopped […]

On the road again!

Well, the part for the tow bar didn’t arrive, so we decided we couldn’t wait any longer to fix our tow bar and went to another RV store, Happy Trails RV, that had the blue ox tow bars in stock and bought a new one. They gave us the sale price even though the sale […]

Not a happy camper…

Still stuck in Grande Prairie waiting for the tow bar replacement latch. It appears that it didn’t come today so we need to check with the repair shop tomorrow to see what is the next delivery date. If this is going to take too long, our only recourse is to buy a new tow bar […]

In a holding pattern

More frustration. Contacted Blue Ox, the tow bar company, and they said to call an RV repair shop and have them order an entire latch kit, not just the spring, and have it installed. Which means we’re stuck here in Grande Prairie about 70 miles shy of Dawson Creek (start of the Alaskan Highway) until […]
