Beaver Creek

Today has been a little bit different then we had planned, but we are doing OK. After we left Haines Junction this morning & ate breakfast about 8:30 we were just doing really good, but the roads are atrocious & dodging all the pot holes is an experience, Don noticed the trailer didn't look right so we stopped & the trailer tongue was bent so he reorganized the trailer, trying to get the weight to the back, we drove really slow for about 25 miles & got to Beaver Creek, where there is a machine shop & he will open at 8 on Monday. We are in a cute cabin with an OK price & I don't think either one of us knew how tired we really were till we slowed down. We are 2,714 miles from home & about 400 miles from Anchorage. The scenery is beautiful & it goes for hundreds of miles.

It has rained on us every day but the night we set camp in the rain it wasn't cold, for which we were very thankful. Was glad that Joy updated the blog so those who are following us would know we are OK, just on the other side of civilization. :) Will put on some pictures that we took. The nice picture of a cinammon colored bear is on the internal memory of the camera so will have to wait until we get home to post it. I, (don) did see a momma bear with two small cubs just outside of Watson Lake. Have seen elk, moose, buffalo, bears, deer, some foxes, coyotes and a beautiful bald eagle today. No caribou yet but hopeful. Thanks for all your prayers and we are safe.
