North To Alaska : On the Road Again

We left Sterling, AK in the rain where it had rained for the past week or more. Our first day of travels took us to and across the Canadian border to Beaver Creek. By the time we set up camp at the Beaver Creek Campground the stars were out and it was unseasonably warm.

Friday we traveled through the Yukon in sunny skies and warm temperatures enjoying the great scenery. Our second night was spent in Teslin YK, along a beautiful lake in a nice RV Park.

Saturday was spent going through the Rocky Mountains lots of ups/down/curves, but no snow. The color contrast of the fall aspens and pines perched on majestic mountains is humbling. Although we didn't make as many miles today, the scenery was great. Our 3rd night was spent in a wonderful campground in Ft. Nelson, BC.

Sunny Sunday skies and warm temperatures continue as wind our way through BC, we are mostly out of the mountains now and the road has got smoother. We spend Sunday night in a great RV park just outside of Valleyview, BC. We are getting back into a routine for set-up and take down of the rig.

Monday, is the day of the Big Push (644 miles - 12 hours) to make it the rest of the way through Canada and back into the lower 48. We complete our journey through BC and coast into Alberta. Lots of 4 lane hwy and not as inspiring scenery. We have left the hills/mountains behind and traded them for rolling farmland and oil wells. There are lots of ducks/geese on the lakes and ponds we pass. The border crossing at Sweetgrass MT at 8:00pm was painless ,and we are back in the US. We make it another 40 miles to Shelby, MT, where we spend the night. Tuesday we start to head east towards home.......

We have our cell phones on and at least for now have great internet access.
