Way too many gorgeous Alaskan pictures to post!! Shot of mountains from highway of our moving RV…..
Ate breakfast at this Alaskan rest area’s picnic table…. Wonderful moments, followed by the 'not-so-wonderful' b/c soon after this pic was taken, the RV proceeded to break down TWICE on the way to Fairbanks ! Had a leak in the cooling system (hose) which ultimately delays our time in Fairbanks by a couple of days to await repairs.
Camped at “Sourdough RV PARK” world famous for its nightly PANCAKE TOSS competitions! The owner is amazing – comedian, musician, and quick mover- as you can see in the BLUR as he whipped by the piles of pancakes. Had to toss pancakes about 30 feet into the bucket (also seen in the pic) … if you did , you win a free pancake bkfst!
A quick jump out of the RV along the TOP OF THE WORLD 100 mile gravel road between Dawson City , Yukon and Tok, Alaska.
Travel day from YUKON to ALASKA….. Shows RVs in line to cross the Yukon river; we arrived at 7am and had to wait about 2 hours. After a couple of weeks driving thru CANADA, this was THE DAY we would cross to Alaska and it was NOT A GOOD ONE…… Ilea did not sleep much b/c she had significant discomfort in lower abdomen , and now this morning as we wait in line – she has bloody urine. Suspect perhaps passing a stone or infection. PROBLEM: from where we are, its over 7 hours backwards direction to Whitehorse (capital of Yukon) ..OR, forward to AK about 5 hours over TOP OF THE WORLD HIGHWAY to Tok, Alaska,which is mostly gravel and often very BUMPY and narrow (not ideal for a person passing a stone!!!!) Ilea wants USA so off we go. Note the ferry you see only could take one or two RVs at a time across the river. We did get Ilea to a clinic in TOK and fortunately, they diagnosed her with ‘only’ a bladder infection and probable passing of stone. Blood has ceased thankfully, and on antibiotics, she has since dramatically improved, and concerns for now , have mostly subsided.
