Saturday - A long-ish travel day today at at 500miles. The weather was beautiful and the traffic was light. The last 100miles in Canada and the first 50miles in the US were the worst parts of the highway. Lots of frost heaves and potholes. A bit of gravel and some road construction.
We had a late lunch at Fast Eddy’s in Tok. It was delicious, as always. And, we stopped at the border to get the mandatory photo.
The Jeep has been averaging 29mpg for the trip. Much better than I was expecting. We are pretty lightly loaded as we need open space in the back for the cat. The picture is just the road on the way to Delta.
We arrived back home a little after 5pm. A ten hour day.
Brilliantly clear skies of the North... extra nice with the white snow caps. Enjoy your stay home. Cheers, SonjaM
ReplyDeleteThank you. Doing some major cleaning and decluttering and getting the Ural packed up to move south. It doesn’t get much use up here….
DeleteWelcome home! I've not been to Alaska, but my parents loved it there. (They met there). The did at least one trip up in their motorhome. Took our young nephew, which was an epic trip for him. He had a tough childhood, but he has wonderful memories of his trip there. Enjoy your time in AK!
ReplyDeleteThe place does sort of suck you in. Once you get here, you end up staying. I came up as a graduate student and ended up retiring from the university…
