Heading Home to Alaska – the Alcan in January

Jan. 1, 2020: Officially done with lower 48 things and headed into Canada today! Planning to be in Canada 3 nights; Lord willing, home on Sunday! (Photo: our first time driving on the Washington side of the Columbia River gorge.)

Jan. 2: It’s been a beautiful British Columbia kind of day.
8 hours down, 6 more to go.

Progress! 1477 miles/27 hours or so to go

So do ya think this one can be filled? #AlaskaHighwaywindshield

Teslin, Yukon Territory. 720 miles to home!

 

Just the regulars along the Alcan

Our favorite encounter on the Alcan: a silver fox! We watched it hunt for 15 minutes or so – beautiful!

Ya do what you gotta do.
Just about to cross the border!

Jan. 5: Finally! A car thermometer that reads below -22!

Home cookin’: moose ribs – it’s what for dinner!

  1. Dear Millers, I was thinking of you just this morning as I was resting in bed and I prayed for you. Glad to hear you are home again safe and sound except for the hole in your windshield. Thanks for the pictures. Now is a job to get things going again at home. The moose ribs look good. I was thinking you should have one of those buffalo in your freezer. Thanks for the pictures and the updates on your trip. Praying for you. Bert & Melvina

    • Thank you, Melvina and Bert; we are so thankful for your prayers! We wouldn’t mind a bison in the freezer, either! One of the gals from Grayling put one away last month.

      In case you’d like to go back and watch it, I added a video of the silver fox to this blog page.

      Sincerely,
      Shannon
