Rain foiled again!!

Hi,
 We are in Tok, Ak. where the Glenn Hwy meets the Alaska Highway.  It is a spot that everyone goes through twice, coming and going into Alaska.  We are 90 miles from the Canadian border.  Just down the road is the turn North on the Taylor Highway which goes to the Top of The World Highway that goes into Canada farther North.  The road to Eagle on the Yukon River goes north from that road also.  BUT The Taylor Hwy just opened today after being closed due to several washouts due to heavy rains about 2 weeks ago.  It is a gravel road to begin with, and now the road report and the visitor information place here says it is 40 miles of large crushed rock.  It is open, but travel at your own risk!  The road to Eagle is closed. SOOOO, I guess we are heading East on the Alaska Hwy to Whitehorse and then South on the Cassier Hwy in British Columbia to Hyder,AK.  We plan to see more bears eating salmon there.

The sun is out for the first time in many days.  We did not see Denali, nor did we see the Mountains in the Wrangell Range or the Alaska Range as we drove from Cantwell to Tok.  It is flat here, so go figure!!!
We did see a lot of Caribou along the Denali Highway.  We also met a couple from Michigan that happen to be from the same town as Ned's brother and they know him will!!  We were standing along the gravel road in the middle of nowhere looking at caribou and started talking about where we were from!!!  Small world!

Take care, will keep you posted on progress east.  Carol and Ned
