Hurrah! We reached Alaska

Today we crossed into Alaska after almost two weeks crossing British Columbia and the Yukon. We bypassed Dawson City and the Top of the World Hwy. It was reported by some other travelers it had taken them 4 1/2 hours to go 108 miles.
We saw some great scenery again today and started seeing The Alaskan Range and the Wrangell Mountains. It has been a beautiful sunny day! There were many lakes beside the road and Bill saw two trumpeter swans and then Bill and Marilyn saw 2 more.
We ate lunch on Dot Lake near a pretty little church.

We finished the Alaskan Hwy. We met more convoy vehicles going south to meet the main convoy. The rain has continued on and has left our rigs in need of a good washing. One would never know that the little Honda trailing Herb and Leigh was once white!

We are staying at the North Pole for 3 nights. We'll see about visiting Santa tomorrow
