But we haven’t seen a single moose yet!! We are at 8:18 you’re (or at least of you)time and nearing Ft. Nelson, BC – amazing how far you can go when you are not “broke down” ( you will have to excuse the typos cause the bumpiness of the road makes it really hard to hit the right keys!!)
Grandpa set the alarm clock for 7:30 am this morning at Whitecourt , Alberta where we parked in a car parts parking lot for the nite after going to a McDonalds for our dinner at 10pm – (some wonderful person related to us called us early this morning to wish us well and forgot the time change……..and we love you for doing that, Honey!!!!)
Man………just wanted to take a picture of the sunset on the Rocky’s and don’t know how to use the computer or the cell fast enough and the camera batteries seem to be non-functional. It is in my head!!
So on the road and went through the colorfly described Dawson Creek which was a big gold mining town during the Alaskan rush – then on to lots of verrrrrrrrrry steep mountain highway (we thought it was bad in Quebec but this is close and than God the road is dry!!!) and see lots and lots of moose tracks but it is almost dark and not a single moose to be seen!
I don’t think that I had time last nite to tell you that Randy managed to negotiate the price of the axle job down to $3800 plus we got 2 t-shirts, hat and a mug!!!!!!!! (I used the mug tonite and said “this tastes like $3800!!) All in all, we were very happy with the axle experience.
The road is making it very hard to type so I will do more tomorrow – goodnite family!!

Oops... I thought I might be calling too early! Oh well... I love you guys and can't wait to hear more! Successful and fun ski trip last night with Caitlin. She's getting to be quite the little speed demon - wonder where she gets that from?!? :)
Who says prayer doesn't work...? I am very thankful that you are "on the rode again". I picked out my catering for the flight from IND-ANC. It's a fruit tray, cheese blintzes with raspberry sauce, red potatoes and pork loan. You're right it is a long way to ANC...I think the flight from Indy is like 6.5 hours...;-) How long is your drive again?
Ocean says, "I love you" and Aeja says,"have a safe trip."
Call me when you get back into the USA.
Love, The other DeKuipers
