Day 42 – Our last day on the Alaska Highway. We decided it would be nice for us to find a place to shower up since we haven’t showered since we left Salt Lake City. It’s not that we are trying to go all natural or anything – just the campgrounds that we have been staying at have not had showers or any water facilities. We didn’t want to offend my Aunt and her family arriving with five days of dirt and grime on us. It felt really good to shower! And our drive continued and we successfully crossed the boarder into the states again with no problems at all, some of the nicest boarder guards we have met. There is something comforting about all of a sudden driving in your home country – even though Canada isn’t that different with driving. I also noticed that in Canada we never saw a mounty or anything – and you could tell because no one went the speed limit. Once we were in AK for a few hours I had already spotted two highway troopers. We arrived just in time for dinner at my aunt’s house in Fairbanks – well planned huh?

Day 39 - We have hit the fall of the north and are no longer wearing shorts and tank tops – though I am sticking to my flip flops for awhile longer. We tried out the seat warmers ... [Continue reading this entry]
