The internet is not very fast in some of our camp grounds, so it is impossible to post every day. We left Whitehorse, Yukon on June 26th. Boyd had been researching the road conditions on the rv forum. We had planned to travel up to Dawson City and cross the border there but the forum reported that the roads were almost unpassable in some areas. Rv's had flipped and other wrecks reported. We decided to go towards and on to Beaver Creek and up through Tok. The next 200 miles were also terrible road conditions. We had to travel 20 to 30 miles an hour and completely stop and go around the potholes and into the other lane. The road freezes in the winter, and thawing in the spring causes the road to break apart. It was quite an experience and stressful for my persevering husband. We heard of several wrecks on the way. Guess the drivers were moving to fast. The pictures below were some of the most beautiful scenery that we crossed, of course every mountain to us looks more beautiful than the previous. The Kluane Lake was amazing....... 154 sq miles of beautiful water surrounded by mountains and these amazing flowers that are called Bear-root or maybe wild sweet pea, an important food source for the Grizzly Bear. The sweet pea and bear root are similar and many people get them mixed up. The sweet pea is poisonous and have killed humans.
On to Alaska!!!
Just logged back in today after quite awhile. Your pictures are breathtaking. Can't even imagine what seeing all this in person is like. My view at the moment is of I-75 from the 15th floor of a skyscraper in midtown! God is good all the time though. I can live the dream with you through your blog and beautiful pictures. Hope all is going well. Love and miss you. Connie
