Day 2: July 5, 2016
Depart:Cache creek, BC      Arrive:Ft Fraser, BC = 400 miles
By the way, the Pig game that Jeff got wasn't that exciting!👎
🚦So the flashing green traffic light, we believe is a go green light.We thinks it's because they're trying to save energy!😜
We met a nice, adventurous lady (Susan) from Kentucky that was traveling to Alaska by herself. She was one of our neighbors at the campground we stayed at in Cache Creek last night.
Today we just been doing a lot of driving. The stretch between Cache creek and Prince George is a lot more populated then what we did yesterday. Terrain is more hills, marshland, lakes and stuff like that.
We stopped at Williams lake visitor center in Williams Lake BC. It was the neatest visitor center, because it was made out of Cedar logs. Come to find out a local log house contractor did the front of it and some other contractor did the back of it. In the area of Williams Lake we noticed that there was a lot of log homes, log cabins and log whatever.

We had to stop in Quesnel BC at the Walmart for Jeff to get my command station as he calls it. He doesn't like me using HIS middle councel! Ha, Little does he know, now I've got 2 storage spaces😡
Did I mention that the rain is following us! But as Dori would say in The movie Finding Nemo,"Just keep driving,driving-driving!

Jeff and I stopped in Prince George to take a little break. They just happen to have a casino in town and Jeff walked in and got four aces,  with a kicker for $500.
We are about 35 miles west of Prince George and we saw a black bear with her cub on the side of the road. This is turning out to be the best day ever!!😆
We have stopped for the Night at Beaumont provincial park by Frazier lake. The rain is gone and it's a beautiful day! It's a really nice park and has great campsites. Has running water toilets but no showers. Unfortunately were only staying overnight so we will not get to enjoy the beautiful lake and the great swimming beach they have here. ❌campsite $22 Canadian cash!



You will never guess who also is camping out here. Our old neighbor Susan, from the last campground we were at.

 *Life is a Gamble, bet Max!

Day 8 July 11, 2016 Healy, AK We are going to be staying in a hotel for the next four nights here in Healy, Alaska. (July 11-15) We will be exploring the Denali National Park and this whole area. Today we went and saw the Denali dogsled Demonstration. Denali sled dogs "mush" the trails of Denali Park all winter long. In the summer time the kennel dogs participate in a sled dog demonstration three times a day. We did get to hang with the dogs and pet them. Free Demo! "Please scratch my back"  "Would you smile if some weirdo wanted to do a selfie with you"? After the dogsled demonstration we went to the Denali visitors center. We watched a movie about Denali and looked at all the displays and information about the park. Jeff made a friend! After hanging out at Denali, we headed back to Healy and on the way stopped at a beautiful hotel that was perched way up above the    Denali Village! I can't remember the

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 45: Aug 17 (Tok, AK - Whitehorse, Yukon) 420 miles

Happy Anniversary  To US!!  We started the day out at the Tok RV Village RV park, where we had stayed on the way to Alaska.  While we were getting ready to go a squirrel was hopping from tree to tree, knocking down the pine cones. In this picture you can see he's on his way to another tree. He was doing this until we left. We figured the winters must be pretty cold if he's working this hard to get his stores up! Tok, AK to Whitehorse, Yukon: If you go to Alaska or Canada, I highly recommend going to all the visitors centers. Most all have more then just travel information. Many have history, demonstrations and more. They are all very helpful!! This one was in Alaska before the Canadian Border.. This was the Refuge behind the visitors station where you can go hiking and fishing. One of the type of fish that are in these lakes. On the road: These pictures were taken in the Yukon. We noticed the trees were turning fall colors already. We ended up staying a
