We are in a nice motel tonight in Ft. Nelson. If you look it up on the map that means we drove another 600 miles today. The Alcan highway is a beautiful conglomeration of pine, aspen, and birch. There are small service stations about every 20-50 miles and the scenery is as unique as it is breathtaking. As we headed up into the mountains a rain storm comes over the mountains. We took these pictures and the rain came shortly afterward. The pines in the foreground are over forty feet tall and it is difficult to see, but the area in the shadow is all pines. We drove down the hill called Suicide Hill today. The claim is that at the top of the mountain used to be a sign which read "prepare to meet your maker," as we were driving down all I could think of was "I am so very happy we had our brakes done before this road trip, so happy!" Oh, and new names of towns Blueberry and Beaver.
The town names are very interesting, and the view is beautiful!!! WHen does the camping start? hehe Miss ya and we are all glad to hear you are doing well! XOXO
