It's been a little more than two full days in Anchorage. Most of this time has been spent recovering from the epic cross-continent trip. A few observations have been made so far.

F-22's are really loud. Traffic can be a challenge. Urban outdoorsmen abound. The views are amazing! Did I mention traffic is a challenge?

Tomorrow, we're looking to explore more. Maybe the state fair?

Our last night in Canada. We are actually a little sad, Canada has been amazing! The people have been way too nice, and helpful even when we did something dumb. The scenery is unbelievable the last two days, through the Northern Rockies in British Columbia, and now the Yukon. Put it on your bucket list folks, you really want to make this trip if you can. 

     We are going to have to replace a windshield, apparently it’s a common issue on the Alaska highway during construction season. The camper is holding up well, but I’ve noticed signs of significant flex at stress points. The road has been extremely rough at times. 

     Tomorrow, we attempt to re-enter the United States. I hear it’s harder then getting into other countries. Wish us well, and next time we post, it will be on Alaskan time!

We made it through Canadian customs with surprisingly little trouble, until arriving at the campsite for the evening. Then, I almost took out a truck with the back of the camper while clumsily pulling into our site! I missed by literally 2 inches! We are now deep in Canadian territory, and will be taking  a day to rest before the final push to Alaska! I’ll try and post pictures tomorrow, and we’ll be exploring Whitecourt, Alberta, CA tomorrow. – Wes

So, it’s the end of day three. Sorry we haven’t posted anything yet, it’s been a bit of an exhausting time so far. Exhausting, but amazing! The first day was torture. Sorry Kansas, but you don’t offer much for the motoring public who enjoy scenic vistas. As soon as we crossed into Colorado, the scenery immediately improved, like God threw a switch! And Wyoming was gorgeous. I wish we could have stayed longer. 

     Montana was amazing. We stopped at the Little Bighorn Battlefield, where Custer met his end. Very impressive historically accurate site, with amazing displays showing where the troops and Indians moved and fought. 

     After leaving the campsite, we trekked across Montana, with some amazing scenery. And we played “Find the Minuteman III missile silo and Launch Control Centers” as we crossed the countryside. For the record, we saw 7 missile silos and three LLC’s. 

     Tomorrow, we challenge the Canadian boarder crossing. What a fun day! Pray we don’t get “extra screening!”   

12 days left in Oklahoma. What seemed to be taking forever to arrive is now too soon for the amount of work left to finish! The stress level is intense, but slowly the to-do list is getting checked off. Can't wait to hit the road and start the journey!
