Good to see you guys under way.
Not sure what your plans are for B.C. but check out the Cassiar highway 37 and Bear Glacier. Very cool stuff to see.

Also, make sure you have tire chains before you hit the Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay. Can ice over very quickly this time of year.

With the good days you have the bad.
Well. Today was a rough one.
We woke up in Revelstoke, BC to Freddy saying he had pain in his lower right back. S@#$. The pain got progressively worse and he said that it reminded him of the kidney stone that he had at one point. We made the decision to go to the hospital. A few hours later we walked out. Luckily it was nothing serious, but he said it was very pain full. It was mostly caused to dehydration and a monster energy shot he had last night. The doc gave him some anti-inflammatory drugs and we were on our way after about 3 hours.
I also noticed this morning that our truck was leaning to the right. I inspected it and found that I didn't clear the exhaust with the air bag hose far enough to keep it from melting. The connection hose goes into a quick connect elbow fitting. Its a one shot fitting. Meaning the hose goes in and is not meant to come back out. I tried to get it out anyway. From cutting and jabbing to trying and melt the thing out. Finally the auto parts store that I was going in and out found the exact elbow I was looking for. I cut the burnt piece off and reattached. The air is a' holdin'
So the truck is good and Freddy is feeling better. We still want to be heading North. A huge detour took us off the highway heading towards Jasper to the town of Revelstoke. We have to keep heading to Kamploos so we can get North.

I figure since we don't have a refrigerator, I can finally eat things that won't go bad after a few days.
