Up early and on the road! Black bear and silver fox along the road! Also enjoying breakfast. Into the Yukon! We ALMOST made it throught Canada without damage. It doesn't warrant a windshield replacement, but we got our first chip from a rock kicked up by a passing truck. Clear duct tape for now, chip …

June 8 – Watson Lake – Almost
We got up early and made our way to Watson Lake. This was a big push. 7-8 hour drive... with no cellular or internet access! HORROR!!!!! Or, a much needed break from screens. No wonder we had over 230 photos to sift through. Almost immediately after leaving Fort Nelson, we hit road construction. We have …
June 6-7 – Fort Nelson, BC
Well, we woke up next to this guy! Puts our little rig to shame! THIS is how you do Alaska! After we left, we had a long scenic drive from Grande Prairie, AB to Fort Nelson, BC. There is really not a lot... if anything, for 6+ hours. Well, there is a lot, just not …
June 5 – Grande Prairie, AB
We left Jasper on a chilly rainy morning. The weather dashed our hopes of getting onto the gondola to the top of one of the mountains for more vistas, but the mountains gave us some fantastic consolation prizes. We stopped back in Hinton, AB for fuel. We realized we had low tire pressure, so asked …

While we are admittedly ‘livin the dream’ and feeling like we are totally the luckiest; our adventuring has some limitations. I am still on a full regular work schedule.. on Minnesota time.. with cutoffs and deadlines.. and employees.. …

Wednesday, May 29 – June 1 – EDMONTON!!!!
Wednesday, May 29 We got up early and found some WiFi at a Tim Horton's. Bought some coffee to ease our guilt. We left Drumheller and headed on to Edmonton! But not before driving through and enjoing the local wildlife... We made a stop at Ponoka, AB for a farmers market, which ended up being …
Tuesday, May 28 – Not quite Edmonton
We got up early this morning and went in search of internet. After a number of trials and errors, we parked outside a Home Depot and borrowed their WiFi for work. (I paid them back by buying a screw driver a few days later at another location.) From there, we made our way to Moose …
