We got down to the Black Ball Ferry a little over two hours early. US Border Control needed us there 1.5 hours ahead of time. No problem with gaining access to the ferry as our passports were valid. It was very scary loading onto the ferry through the side door: Read more

We left Whistler (which we loved) and headed down the hills towards Vancouver. We decided not to hook up the truck for the drive down to sea level based on our previous trip. We were probably being over cautious, but better safe than sorry. Beautiful landscapes along the way, especially Read more

We left Willow Springs and headed to Whistler where the Winter Olympics were held in 2010. We knew that we were in for a huge climb to get up into the mountains where the ski resort was. There were a lot of switchbacks, a lot of ups and a lot Read more

Short day of driving as we were only on the road for about 4.5 hours. The scenery was very similar to the past few days. Again we didn’t see any wildlife. Jeff and Molli and us seem to be leap frogging each other on our quest for civilization, we haven’t Read more

Well someone turned the wildlife spigot off, haven’t seen an animal at all along the way, unless you want to count a mother duck with four goslings trying to cross the street. Bear was watching all day as well and he didn’t see anything either: Did get some pictures of Read more

We left the Continental Divide and continued to head south without a real destination in mind. It was an interesting drive and I’m glad that we had given ourselves time to meander. First off we drove to Nugget City (really not a city) on the ALCAN heading to the Cassiar Read more

On July 12th, our traveling dog Bear, turned seven. He has been on the road with us for six and a half years – basically his whole life! He loves traveling especially when he gets to go on hikes, have fun in the water, play, go out for food with Read more

We had hoped that Jeff and Molli were going to catch up with us in Tok, but they decided to push onward. We were both anxious to get back down south to civilization. We left Tok and drove down the Alaskan Highway until we got past the town of Teslin Read more

We left Palmer and drove up to Tok to stay at the Tok RV Village where we stayed six years ago. On the way we ran into a lot of frost heaves that made the driving slow and bumpy! We did see the Matanuska Glacier along the way: Beautiful view Read more

We left the Homer area and headed north through Anchorage with our destination of Palmer, AK. We stopped in Anchorage to resupply at Costco and Petco. It’s always fun driving the Busse Bus with the truck in tow through parking lots. We also saw another moose along the way: In Read more
