Well we started our long journey on July 6th. We left Anchorage at 3pm and made it to Tok, AK around 9:30. We stayed at Gateway RV Park for the night. The roads were horrible lots of frost heaves and too much construction, but we made it.
Day 2 we drove to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Left Tok around 9am and arrived at Hi Country RV Park at 6pm. We met 2 couples from Australia who invited us over for a night cap. Really nice people glad we got to meet them.
The Aussies
Day 3 we left Whitehorse at 9am and arrived at Muncho Lake around 5pm. We had our Honeymoon there in 2008 and couldn't wait to go back. This time it was the worst night ever. My son wouldn't sleep, the dog barked at every noise and the bed was hard as a rock. Should have slept in the camper. We did see some wildlife though. 2 black bears and 8 bison.
Day 4 we made it to Dawson Creek still in B.C. We seen another black bear today along with dozens of dall sheep and even a caribou. We drove about 9 hours today and so far all is good. The A/C on the camper got rained on and then leaked in the camper. Come to find out there was no hole for the condensation to drain and that's why it leaked. Made a few holes and had no more issues. Everything worked and no issues. Little Travis got restless often and the wife, being pregnant needed to stop regularly, but we still made good time.
Well day 5 we left Dawson Creek and headed to Jasper/Banff NP. We saw 3 deer and 2 elk while there. Instead of camping there we pushed on and reached Great Falls Montana at 4am. It was a 19 hour drive that nearly killed us.
Day 6 was supposed to be an easy day, but our neighbors from Alaska just happened to be visiting family in Idaho and invited us to stay there. So we drove to Idaho Falls and stayed in their driveway.
Talk about a small world.
Day 7 we made it to Moab Utah. We camped tere for a few days and checked out Arches NP and Canyonlands. Camped at Riverside Oasis Campground. Restocked and resupplied.
Day 8 Just relaxed in the camper.
The views from the campground.
The Colorado River behind our site.
The dog hated his first thunderstorm. It was so windy it almost ripped the neighbors awning off his camper. They weren't here so I went out in the pouring rain to save it. That's my good deed for the day.
