Oh, and where's my wife right at the moment...the one who thought l (luckily l can spell l without dictionary...but beyond that) so desperately needed a puppy...sleeping.

It been a struggle at times, between coverting the majority of pictures to the right format and typing these posts...all while a ten week old pup attacks my phone, my fingers, my dictionary (just added to list)...the chair, the area rug, the televison cabinet, the etc, etc... This is happening...

Yes, both apply (darn women anyway😆) Granted, believe the last word in the second one should be...anything.

Thank you, for the kind words. Yes, it was time for all you mentioned. And the driving never really bothered me, the uncomfortable seats did, but spending time on the road suits me just fine. Like l tell folks...''l was born with a steering wheel in my hands." "And yes, l feel terrible about...

Wow, now those are great picture! 27 miles away, wow! I'm looking at the base of that mountain for the road, assuming it was covered by landslide...then l blew the picture up. Ouch, the road is on the side of the mountain. May have been me at Denila, did my fair share of cruising around...

Day 32 - before living Mackinaw, went back down by the bridge and took a last look at her and thanked her for letting me pass safely. Stopped in town, grabbed two coffees and hit the road for home. Was making good time, considering, light traffic going the backway home. Decided to stop by...

Day 31 - this was another long day of driving. Basically, just pushing my way home. Ended up in Mackinaw City. Got across the bridge easily. Was afraid there might be a wait, since they close it for half the day on Labor Day and let folks walk across. So, after all of the difficult drives...

That's awesome! (Hope you didn't have as difficult a time finding Denali as myself.😅) But in a AMC Eagle, better yet! That was probably the only decent vehicle they ever made...okay...l'll throw in the Javelin, just so l don't get an ear-full from others...lol. l'll bet that was quite the...

Day 30 - leave Plentywood early, 4am. The two motel room complimentory small coffee packets helped start the old eyelids in the right direction...but l knew it would be a tough drive on just those alone. Well, hallelujah...it's good to be back in the states...a block from the motel...a 24 hr...

Day 29 - left Daswons Creek at sunrise. Doesn't pay to be in too big a hurry in Canada...if your not making your own coffee that morning...most gas stations don't open until 6/7am. Only station found that was open early, were 7-11's. Anyhow, snagged a coffee at the 7-11 and we were on the...

Day 28 - made my way to Dawsons Creek. (picture's actually the morning of the 29th day) Sealed the plug on the diff with some teflon tape and it stopped leaking. Greased driveshafts and did my usual post-trip, checking engine oil and everything under the hood after its cooled down. Every...

Thought about taking my oldest grandson, he's 16. But decided against it, because l wasn't planning on being back until late Sept. That must have been quite a trip in 94, what was the Alcan hwy like back then? Did you guys camp?

Day 27 - stop in town for coffee and start making my way towards Fort Nelson. Stopping every so often to check diff. Worked out perfect, about the time my bladder is full...it was time to check diff. It was just seeping slightly (diff, bladder is holding nicely). PLenty of bison roaming...

Day 26 - left Whitehorse at sun up...after my morning phone call from my wife...and made tracks for Watson Lake. When my wife got me the pup...l specifically mentioned to her that l didn't want this to affect my trip. Because, l had two and a half months to play with, originally. She was...

Day 25 - well, after the engine cooled down during the night and the gaps opening up a bit more...the rest of the gasket blew out on stray up and she got pretty loud...and stinky. These things aren't very air tight to begin with...so l had to get moving quickly...or die of fumigation. Once...

Day 24 - heading back towards Tok. It's weird, kind of like the overcast days, especially picture wise, and driving, the photos look more dramatic, in my opinion. Back in Tok. Pulling into fuel station and what do l see...another Defender 110 pulling in. Was like???...these...

Day 23 - continues. Valdez harbor. Day 23 - was time for another engine oil, grease and trans fluid change...and check transfer/axles fluids. Goggled a couple places and after a short bit got a response...being Saturday...wasn't sure if it would happen. Well, after the...

Day 22 - continues. Get to Keystone Pass, amazing view. Kept moving back to capture the scale of the rock formation. Looking nearly straight up. Bridal Vail Falls. You have me and a few others...and then the rest. VIew from my site. Watched an eagle catch its dinner from...

Day 22 - heading towards Valdez. Had planned on making this destination yesterday, but called it a day early. This was a very enjoyable ride, very scenic. Stopped at a fuel station (Eureka Roadhouse maybe?), and they had a pretty cool snow machine. Make the turn south towards...

Great photos and report. Very cool area, looks perfect for hiking.
