Week 4

We crossed the border into Alaska on June 17th - exactly two weeks after crossing the border into Canada! I might have spoken a little too soon about the roads! Overall they were great, but the last 100 miles in Canada were a little rough. They have trouble there because of permafrost. They are experimenting with several different techniques to improve the condition. Our first stop in Alaska was Tok. We spent two days there to rest up (not much else to do there) before continuing on with our journey. From Tok we drove to Delta Junction which is the official end of the Alaska Highway! We stopped there for gas and a visit to the visitor's center. Then on to Fairbanks where we will be for a few weeks. Chuck has had some problems with styes, so hasn't felt like doing a whole lot. He had to go to the doctor a few times, but is doing better now. We are staying right by the Chena River at River's Edge RV Park. There are two dog parks close by, so the boyz are able to get off leash and run around a bit. They are getting lots of walks and enjoying all the smells! I was able to find a group of people that are letting me practice (agility) with them. They are VERY nice and made us feel welcome and right at home. Our first trial here in Alaska is Jul 5-7 in Fairbanks.
