Day 16: July 19,2016

Don, Diane and I drove out the Dalton Hwy for about 40 miles. What we drove on was a pretty bumpy highway. This road leads to Deadhorse at the end of the road. But it is about 450 miles from Fairbanks. To far for us to go in one day!

Pipe line along the road:


We saw this on the side of the road:


We stopped and checked out this area and there was a few blueberry pickers here.




*Life is like a HIGHWAY! We never know what you will find around the next bend.

Day 46: Aug 18 (Whitehorse, YK - Fort Nelson, BC) 610 miles

This morning we were up early on our way to the bathroom and a fox was about 4 feet from Jeff. He thought it was going to come right up to him and then it saw me and walked around us to eat some berries about 12 feet from us. Of course by the time I got to my camera he was gone. Awesome Sauce!! Whitehorse to Fort Nelson: At Johnson's Crossing we stopped and picked up some goodies at the Bakery. The Cherry and Apple turnovers were delicious. Cinnamon Rolls were also good. Scones we did not care for. Good place to check out. This rest stop was just down the road from this bakery. I loved the way it was landscaped! The gravel road on the left of this sign is highway 6 to Ross River, Yukon. Yep its gravel all the way. This was on the road by Swift River. We stopped to get a good picture of the bridge below and decided to explore this RV park. We drove thru it and the Container RV was parked in one of the spots. We thought it was so cool how they built it and even had a de...

Day 42: Aug 14 (Beach House)  Jeff, Don and I spent Sunday at the Beach House hanging out and relaxing after the big fishing days. We had Don and Jan over for left overs Sunday night at the Beach House, our home away from home. Yep, you heard it right. Leftovers! Don(brother) is leaving on Monday and we are leaving on Tuesday, so we had to eat our left overs.  Don and Jan did not seem to mind, in fact they brought there left overs to.  Views from the Beach House: Pictures of the Beach House: This door reminds me of Mr Ed. You know the show with the talking horse. Actually years ago Jan said a Moose stuck its head in this door. Imagine if that moose talked to her!!!:):) One of the many windows in the Beach house to view the sights: *The simple things in life are meant to be cherished!
