WE'RE BACK, UP AND RUNNING AGAIN!
Leaving Fairbanks, both "Dora" and "Boots" had a bath
and we're good to go....heading for CHICKEN.
The town, not dinner.
It was a long day; therefore, a long blog.
Passing by North Pole, AK
Still some wildfires--smokey
Eielson AFB
A Really Big Air Force Base
Planes on the tarmac
Heading south on the Richardson Highway
Tanana River
Tanana River
River is wide here
Show Creek with Pipeline on left
Pipeline
We leave the Richardson Highway at Delta Junction
and follow the Alaska Highway east
Gerstle River
Traveling the Alaska Highway towards Tok.
Seems like complete wilderness..no one else on the road
We will miss the Peace Alaska offers!
So much diversity-Mountains, Plains, Glaciers, Lakes and Streams.
22 hours of time to fish
Are we heading into more fires?
Should we go back?
You can see fires burning off in the distance!
Riverbeds are really dry in this area.
Look...there's more fires on the mountain.
wonder if they know about these.
Guess so!
Helicopters with water buckets!
Turning off the Alaska Highway to the Taylor Highway
Chicken 66 Boundary 104 Eagle 160
As locals call this route "the Goat Trail" the highway winds along the
side of the mountain like a narrow shelf, with vertical drops to the valley
far far below.
Stopped in Tok- the only city you go through twice
on the AK HWY coming and going- for fuel and water
and empty our tanks before heading North at Tetlin Junction.
Buzz..are you sure we can make it in this rig? I know the Jeep can do!
No one else is on this road!
Oh, my gosh ..look where we have to go up!
Well, there is another vehicle...however we'll be eating their dust!
GESH!
SUGAR!
OH NO..here we go eating their dust!
Subsistence hunting allowed
This says it all
Bugs are big too here
We made it!
Nice camper!
Pedro Dredge..right in front of our camping lot spot
CHICKEN behind the flags
Yup, biffys back there!
Tomorrow we're going mining for GOLD-Oh yeah!
