Hi again. Sorry I’ve been backlogged on entries. It was been a very eventful past few days. Also, just a note, most pictures I include can be clicked on and viewed larger. Wednesday we left the old mining town of Dawson City. We caught a 24/7 ferry across the Yukon River into West Dawson and…
We made it! At 9:20am this morning we approached the Alaska / Canadian Border Patrol along Top of the World Highway. We just pulled in to Fairbanks now (after visiting Chicken, Tok, and the North Pole. More on that later…) and I just wanted to take a brief moment while my laundry is drying to…
Today we left Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory, and went up to Dawson City. Dawson City is an old mining town from the late 1800′s that boomed during the Klondike Gold Rush. It’s a much smaller town now, and mostly serves tourists as they drive over Top of the World Highway into Alaska….
Monday morning we woke up at Liard Hot Springs. There’s a quick five minute stroll through the woods along a boardwalk that leads you right up to the hot springs. Copilot and I tried to step in and the water was unbelievably hot. A nice woman told us to start at the “kiddy pool” on…
The Alcan Highway has been great so far. I thought I’d recap and post some photos since I finally have internet service. We arrived in Whitehorse around 6:30pm today. We quickly checked into the hotel and went out for a bite to eat at Earl’s. This was the 2nd time Copilot picked out a restaurant…
Yesterday at noon we left Dawson Creek and started our first mile on the Alaskan Highway. It’s been a long but beautiful journey so far. We’ve seen snow covered mountains, green valleys and the bluest rivers I’ve ever seen. We’ve also seen several bears, stone sheep, reindeer, buffalo, bison, and a porcupine. We arrived at…
Had a great lunch at a place called The White Spot. Now on to Mile 1 of The Alaska Highway!!
It’s Sunday afternoon and we just left Edmonton several hours ago. We’re crossing the border from Alberta into British Columbia and will be losing 2G and 3G service on our phone shortly. We’ve actually had internet service for almost all of this trip including very unpopulated areas in Pennsylvania and North Dakota (I had 3G…
After leaving Rugby, North Dakota we continued north on Route 3 to the Canadian border. There we visited the International Peace Garden, shared between land of the United States and Canada. It was pretty neat, and very calming. As we drove through the park we came across a dozen geese in the road. After several…
I decided to do a quick check on what kind of data coverage I will have heading north. Besides having internet on the phone, this will also effect the Live GPS Tracking. I found some disappointing news as I get farther north. AT&T partners with two companies in Canada. One is Rogers Network, and the…
