Because of the extremely limited connectivity and the limited time I have to post, I'm going to outline where we have been and where we are going and try to go back and catch up with more description and pictures as I can.
Right now we are in Shady Rest Campground in Houston, BC. Upon entering Canada we traveled the Kootenay highway over toward Banff and then up through Jasper and over to Prince George. This took us up the length of the Banff-Jasper highway through the Canadian Rockies, which is one of the most spectacular stretches of scenery I have ever seen. In my mind, it is more impressive than the Grand Canyon. Which is going some.
We had a bout with contaminated fuel in Prince George but all is well now and we are pressing on. In a few minutes we will continue west on Canada 16 and then on to route 37 which will take us to Watson Lake where will pick up the Alaskan Highway. Our route takes us up something called the Cassier cutoff. Today we intend to stop at Hyder, Alaska, a tiny town of 87 permanent residents but some spectacular wildlife both in the bush and in the bars.
At this point we are still 1500 milles from Anchorage and we sre trying to make it there by the 28th to meet another one of our party who is flying in on that date.
