Hi All: We are in Tok, Alaska now and will be leaving in the morning to head toward the lower 48. The Canadian border is about 90 miles from here and we hope we don't have any problems crossing it. We heard that Pharaoh has to have a Health Certificate that is less than 30 days old. Well, we got his $45 Health Certificate before we left Florida. Have not taken him to a vet to get another one. Just hope they leave us alone...I am beginning to no like Canadians. They won't let you bring your own booze, or your own vegetables in some cases. Guess they want as much money as they can get out of us while we are travelling thru their country....We'll let ya know....
Above photo is of one of the 30 wheel trucks and trailers we have on the highways up here. It seems that whenever we come to a patch of repaired road with gravel all over it one of these devils come the other way and hit the gravel doing faster than the 35 MPH they post and throw gravel all over you. They are the ones that got my windows last time we were up here. I have covered my headlight with "Bubble Wrap" Hope the border guards don't make me take it off...


This photo is a little strange when you first look at it. Those bent poles are to help the snow plows stay on the roadway when it snows. I may not ever have thought of that as we don't have that much snow where we live. hee hee.

And some how I got two photo's of the snow plow guides. I am on the local WiFi here that I have 45 minutes to work on line. My Verizon thingy was so slow it took 7 or 8 minutes to download a photo last time I used it. This WiFi is much faster..

This is a glacier coming down out of the mountain we passed on our way here from Palmer. It was down lower than the road we were on, and is supposed to be 1000 feet thick and is one of the few that is not getting smaller each year. 10,000 years ago however it reached Palmer, about 50 miles farther back from where we came from. We didn't go down to touch this one. I'm sure it was cooler down there than it was on the hiway where we were at 50 degrees..

Stopper at one of the many pull offs along the highways up here. The mountains were beautiful and we were taking photo's of the glacier and Amy snapped this one..

Above is a photo of "Jamie Lee Curtis"???? OOPS, it's not her, it's my sweety standing in front of the glacier. I like her short hair cut. Hope she keeps it that way....

Well, not sure where we will have WiFi or even electricity after we get in to Canada. It may be a few days before I can get on line. Verizon shows there is very little service going in some of the places we plan to go now. Will keep in touch as much as possible.

Harry: I think the trees were Birch, but not sure.....They have a lot of Birch trees up here..
