I said yesterdays drive was bad, on the Tok turnoff, forget about it today’s was even harder. Even got stopped at a road construction place for about 15 to 20 minutes. Canada needs to do a lot of work on their roads. Luckily the cabinet, where the washer/dryer is, has a child proof lock on it or it would have opened up the door and we wouldn’t have known it. Washer moved forward. We noticed the other day that we have more cracked tiles in the kitchen. We are stopped now at Cottonwood RV Park and it’s 3:30pm, gained an hour, right in front of us is the most beautiful lake, so blue. Blue sky, warm and sunny.
We got on the road this morning at 7am. After driving for a little over an 1/2 hour a motorcycle was driving at us and he put his arm up a little, with a closed fist. I asked Dave was does that mean and he said he was probably waving to us, I said that was no wave. The road turned and right in front of us was a mama black bear and 2 cubs in the middle of the road. Dave hit the brakes and swerved to the right and luckily all the bears took off for the left and went running up the hill. So let that be a lesson to you, if someone on a motorcycle puts their arm 1/2 way up with a closed fist that means slow up something is up ahead. You would rather look at it then hit it.
After a while a Wolf ran across the road in front of us then stopped and stared at us as we drove by. Once we got on those nice Canada roads (ha, ha) there was another black bear on the side of the road. We couldn’t stop in time but the truck behind us was able too.
The rest of the drive was either chip monks or squirrels. Tomorrow will be back in Alaska, Haines. I think tomorrow I will take some motion sickness pills maybe I’ll feel better when we arrive. This driving is almost worst then the Halibut boat ride.
