Yea!!!!!!!!!

Well yesterday was exciting in the up and down kind of way……….today is more like “when are we going to hit the next frost heave/bump?” Beautiful scenery (as my Mother said though “when you’ve seen one mountain, you’ve seen them all” as we drove her my dad and Randy’s mom Shirley out of Skagway on a cruise trip in Alaska in a very small, cramped car) but after 8 hours you can lose part of the ecstasy. We are nearing Beaver Creek and then will cross the border in to Alaska!!!
It is 5:35 p and we are looking for a good place to stop and feed the dogs- one rest area looked like if we pulled in we would have to put the chains on the tires to be able to get out again. The truck driver Randy talked to when we pulled into a weigh station in Whitehorse told us that it was “5 hours and 15 minutes to Beaver Creek” but it is taking us longer than that – we are being conservative driving over all the orange flagged areas of the road ( realllllllllllllllly rough spots) and a lot of the road still has ice on it.
Buzzed through the border and we are now in Tok –we made it to Alaska!!!!! The roads are much better and even though it is dark it was much easier going down the road without major ba-bumps!!
We are stopped for the nite in a gas station and will decide tomorrow whether we want to try and train tomorrow and for how far – it is about 5 hours from here to Anchorage so (assuming we don’t have any more problems!!!!)
