Aloha Alaska, for now

Since the Taylor Hwy is still closed due to washouts we had to take the Alaska Hwy back to Destruction Bay. This is very rough section of the highway with lots of frost heaves so it took us 6 hours to drive 222 miles.

Of course it was raining until we got to the Canadian border but then it cleared off and we had a nice afternoon with temps in low 60s.




There was a long line at the customs checkpoint due to the other highways being closed but we did not have any trouble getting through.

Tonight are having a potluck dinner then tomorrow we had on south to Whitehorse.

Gas was $3.48/gal in Tok and $3.79 at the border.
