We are on our way home on the AlCan Highway. We were hoping to leave Anchorage early Friday morning – but there were too many issues to be settled and things to take care of and stuff we needed to do. So we ended up pulling out at around 3:30 in the afternoon. We did end up driving all the way to Tok at least.

On our second day, we have now passed Whitehorse and are heading to – rather wanting to get to Watson Lake tonight. Roxie is tired of the truck already. We are passing up all sight seeing on this trip – just what sights we can see from the truck.


The weather is just beautiful - sunshine, cool breezes and clear skies. Yukon is a beautiful place. Emerald green water some places and deep dark blue other places. We have passed so many huge lakes, several still covered in a layer of ice.

On the road just inside the Canadian border we saw a little blonde coyote. About 50 feet later we saw an ugly looking large wolf. He may have been after the coyote. Both were practically on the highway.

Tom is letting me help him drive. He drives a couple of hours and then I drive a couple of hours. We’ll see how long it lasts. The only caveat is that I cannot drive slower than 55 miles an hour.

I'll try to post a couple of photos tomorrow. We are leaving the AlCan and heading down the Cassier Highway. It is not entirely paved - but then we have traveled a lot of unpaved road today. We still don't know our route once we hit Prince George.
